"This lexicon was begun in the nineteenth century and ran through nine editions. It was based on the earlier "Handwörterbuch der griechischen Sprache" by the German lexicographer Franz Passow.

It was edited by Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, Henry Stuart Jones and Roderick McKenzie, and published by the Oxford University Press. It is now conventionally referred to as Liddell and Scott, Liddell–Scott–Jones, or LSJ. Its three sizes are sometimes referred to as "The Little Liddell", "The Middle Liddell" and "The Big Liddell" or "The Great Scott".

The first editor of the LSJ, Henry George Liddell, was Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and the father of Alice Liddell, the eponymous Alice of the writings of Lewis Carroll.
