The site "LEXIKON ZUR BYZANTINISCHEN GRÄZITÄT"
is the result of a collaboration between the Lexikon zur
byzantinischen Gräzität (LBG) published by the Austrian Academy of
Sciences (Die Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften) and the
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae® (TLG®) at the University of California,
Irvine.
The LBG is the foremost lexicographical resource in Byzantine
Studies mainly covering the period from the 4th to the 15th century A.D.
taken from more than 3,000 texts. Seven fascicles have appeared to
date, with one more scheduled to appear in 2016. When completed the
dictionary will consist of more than 2,000 printed pages, containing
approx. 80,000 lemmata.
In March 2012, the LBG and TLG began conversations about
digitizing the existing volumes of LBG and linking them to the TLG
texts. The TLG team (Nick Nicholas, Maria Pantelia and John Salatas)
worked on converting the files into XML format and incorporating them
into the TLG online system. The first six fascicles have been included
in this release covering letters A-P. They can be accessed at:

The LBG was initiated by Erich Trapp – in collaboration with
Wolfram Hörandner and Johannes Diethart – in the early 1990s. It became a
joint project of the Commission for Byzantine Studies at the Austrian
Academy of Sciences, the Department of Philology at the University of
Bonn and the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at the
University of Vienna, financially supported by the Austrian National
Science Fund (FWF).
Astrid Steiner-Weber, Sonja Schönauer and Maria
Cassiotou-Panayotopoulos contributed to the project at Bonn University
with the financial support of the German Research Foundation (DFG),. The
Lexicon is now continued at the Division of Byzantine Research of the
Institute for Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences
under the guidance of Erich Trapp (Vienna/Bonn). Members of the team in
Vienna include Carolina Cupane, Andreas Rhoby and Elisabeth Schiffer.
LBG and TLG® wish to acknowledge the contribution of the Austrian
Academy of Sciences that has generously supported the creation of the
LBG and has now agreed to its online dissemination for the benefit of
the scholarly community.
