It's a lexicon, though not really like BDAG due to its compactness.
The word "Manual" comes from its size, literally a book you can carry
in one hand. So it is "handy" and has a couple of appendices for
principal parts etc. In distinction to BDAG, the lexical material is
just glosses, i.e. one or two-word definitions without commentary,
and it is dated. Many swear by the definitions, though.
