Loeb claims it provides one of the few, monumental, bilingual  collections.
 
I'm told THOEMMES press (who usually has problems with (c)) has a  
"Dictionary of British classicists" which I have so far not consulted.

I wonder if the UK ever tried (other than via Heinemann) that kind of  
'bilingual' editions. Every public school boy was EXPECTED to read Greek and  
Latin, 
but I was wondering if in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century (before the  
institution of Oxford Classical Texts, and Cambridge Classical Texts -- both  
monolingual) there were, say, bilingual editions of "The Greek Anthology". 
 
Leads welcome,
