Added a link to the Greek : Software page:
This is an excellent free toolbar for Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, Safari or Flock, written by David Instone-Brewer. It offers a great deal of options for searching various websites (including Perseus), translation services, Bible verses lookup, etc. – all linking to recognized scholarly resourcesl freely available online. A great tool.
Two additions to the Greek lexica and the Greek software (free section) pages:
Diogenes
Originally designed as a free programme to access the data on the TLG CD-ROM (now available exclusively as a subscription-only online service), this excellent piece of software incorporates the great Liddle-Scott dictionary for offline work.
Alpheios Project
This is a Mozilla Firefox plugin, currently under development (alpha stage), which is worth watching. It integrates freely accessible lexical data (Latin and Greek), mostly from the Perseus database, into a browser-based text-reading interface: “In our first release we are illustrating the functionality of the software using specially enhanced Latin and Greek texts on our own website, and texts without such enhancements on a few other selected web sites. In the future we will be providing more enhanced Latin and Greek texts as well as texts in other languages. We will also be making the basic functionality of these tools (providing dictionary definitions and grammatical information) available for use with all texts in standard HTML and appropriate Unicode encoding on any web site, or on your own computer.” Currently limited to a few texts, this will be a great tool once it can handle other html and unicode texts.
All links on the Learning New Testament Greek page have been checked and updated. There are many more useful sites out there no doubt – if you know of a good one, please let us know.
The Septuagint page has been updated and rearranged.

I have renewed the link to Rod Decker’s excellent page on the BDAG Greek Lexicon over on the Lexica page. If you are not familiar with Rod Decker’s page on this, it is well worth a visit.
The long awaited new SBL Unicode Greek Font is now available and I have added a link to it on the NT Gateway Greek Fonts page. There are comments on the Biblical Studies and Technological Tools Blog (Mark Hoffman) and NT Resources Blog (Rod Decker).
