For many years, I have felt a deep desire to publish a perfect "Dictionary of the Greek language" as the crown jewel of my various publications. In order to achieve this goal, I sought the opinion of distinguished philologists among us, and they unanimously pointed out as the best Dictionary of the Greek language the one by the two renowned English philologists and lexicographers, Liddell and Scott, which has had eight editions so far, each one richer and more complete than the previous.
I gladly accepted the unanimous opinion of these wise men and today, with great joy, I offer to the Greek public the faithful and accurate translation of this great work, hoping that it will provide significant assistance in learning the Greek language to all those who are interested in it, especially to teachers and students, and to all lovers of knowledge in general. This Dictionary will be extremely useful and they will use it with confidence, as they will not be under the fear that what they learn today they will be forced to unlearn tomorrow, as it will be imperfect.
