Great resource! I hope we do get a permanent subscription, as this will provide an excellent tool for checking up on historical changes.
An invaluable resource that will be widely used in our discipline… the University truly deserves lasting access to these excellent volumes!
Very impressive indeed – I consulted the Latin and Greek volumes (I have used the second of these previously in hard copy) and found them very useful and usable.
This compendium is simply a must, essential not only for linguists, but in translation studies, philosophical research and writing, etc. In short, for getting acquainted with the long history of our ideas.
