This resource:Research Edition
Logos Editions are powerful because they connect to the tools in Logos Bible Platform. Our team tags every book with important information, like topics covered, biblical events mentioned, and theological ideas explored. That means all you have to do is search Logos, and it scans your library, instantly connecting you to relevant information from across all your books.
Two Types of Logos Editions
Logos Research Editions come with our most detailed interlinking. We catalog topics discussed, Scripture references, theological concepts, bibliographic info, citations, and so much more. Then we connect them to Logos tools so you can access essential info in seconds flat.
Logos Reader Editions are designed to be read cover to cover. We tag Scripture references and some other basics, but forgo the robust treatment given to reference works. This drastically speeds up production, which often enables us to release them the same day as print.

Because LSJ intentionally excluded all post-Biblical Christian authors from its scope, Lampe’s A Patristic Greek Lexicon has since become the essential reference for the study of the vocabulary of many Church Fathers.

Description
A Patristic Greek Lexicon represents the final result of a project begun in 1906 under the auspices of the Central Society for Sacred Study when H. B. Swete was Warden and Regis Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. Lampe and his editorial team worked concurrently as Henry Stewart Jones was in the midst of editing the 9th edition of A Greek-English Lexicon. Because LSJ intentionally excluded all post-Biblical Christian authors from its scope, Lampe’s A Patristic Greek Lexicon has since become the essential reference for the study of the vocabulary of many Church Fathers.
The design of the patristic lexicon is presented as a companion or supplement to LSJ. Words that are well attested in the general lexicon and otherwise of less interest for the readers of patristic literature do not receive discussion. Similarly, in order to make space for more vocabulary and lexicographic discussion, common usage of some words is left to LSJ and A Patristic Greek Lexicon only provides analysis of unusual or unique senses for the patristic authors. Thus the editors assume that the user of A Patristic Greek Lexicon will have LSJ, also, at their side. Traditionally in the print edition this has been difficult and cumbersome, but in the digital edition for Logos Bible Software, this process becomes simple and efficient.
Key Features
- Coverage of several pre-Christian works, such as the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, the Confession of Asenath, and the Psalms of Solomon
- Occasionally goes beyond lexicography to provide context for important historical doctrines that hinge of particular theological terminology
- Includes many common words without theological import because of their use in typological or allegorical discussion
- Those articles that trace theological ideas are organized around theological categories rather than grammatical usage

I have found this to be an indispensable resource for translating texts in the patristics era, as it serves as something of a supplement to the "Great Scott," going over and beyond by tracing the subtleties of the patristic development of language throughout the centuries. Bid and share.
I've used Lampe's lexicon for years and have found only minimal help in it beyond BDAG. But I consider it a must have item in a Greek professor's library.

FINALLY, a functional electronic version of Lampe. I’ve been going off scans that can either OCR Greek or English, but not both (and not accurately for either).
