What does everyone think about this resource?
https://www.logos.com/product/55646/encyclopedia-of-ancient-greek-language-and-linguistics
It's good for background material (pointers on where to look). I wouldn't see it as useful quotably that much. Below an example of the use of greek papyri, and side TOC of nearby articles.
If indeed, purchase, the package with etymology volumes is $9 more. And better to wait for a package sale.
I think it provides a good overview and sufficient detail. I've read several of the articles.
I think it’s very, extremely expensive 😑
Always scroll down to the "Also Included In"
These 3 plus 2 more are included in this bundle at a lower cost.

I think I can do without it.

When do you think a sale will be out on this item?
If I were guessing, I suspect late July (subject-based packages). Or the final week in October (L10 high-end packages).
I'm not sure what happened. I got the package for $300 and change, 2 years back. I'd think the combo is worth that much, if someone likes linguistics.
Of course, Amazon is at plus $1k. And the hebrew at $1.5k ($450 or so on Logos prepub, that's dead in the water).
Thanks DMB. Does this encyclopedia work with NT times as well as Ancient Greek or a mixture of both?
The cutooff seems to be koine, with excurcus into Byzantine. But the emphasis seems centered in early Hellenism, and thus 2nd Temple (period-wise).
