LSJ Lexicon (CEX, Markdown)

This repository holds an edition of the LSJ Lexicon formatted as a CEX file, with the lexicon's entries formatted lightly in Markdown.

The original digitization of the public domain text of the LSJ is courtesy of the Perseus Digital Library: Text provided by Perseus Digital Library, with funding from The National Endowment for the Humanities. Original version available for viewing and download at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/.

The transformation of the Perseus text to an XML edition with composed Unicode was done by Giuseppe Celano. The files here are a further transformation of Celano's work.

Anyone reading this might be interested in this end-user lexicon app that uses this data.
