Everything about The Etymologicum Magnum totally explained
The
Etymologicum Magnum (
Ancient Greek: Μέγα Ετυμολογικόν) or
Etymologicum genuinum was a grammatical encyclopedia edited at
Constantinople in the 9th century AD. The work, which is alphabetical to the third letter, borrows from
Choiroboskos,
Herodian,
Methodius,
Orion,
Oros and
Theognostos.
Photius, patriarch of Constantinople, took up the
Etymologicum, which had been started by an unknown
grammarian. In this and the recension called
Etymologicum parvum that followed it Photius became the founder of the Greek etymological lexical works that were compiled in the 12th and 13th centuries, such as the etymologies known under the titles
Etymologicon magnum and
Etymologicum Symeonis; their manuscript sources are sometimes more complete.Its modern name was given it by its editor in the nineteenth century,
Richard Reitzenstein. No existing manuscript of the work is complete. Most of the Etymologicum Genuinum remains unpublished, and some of the only published material is of the 19th century. These etymologies are useful for the quotations they preserve of literary works otherwise lost.
