| Description: | Dear Colleagues, As a publisher we would like to submit an announcement regarding an exhaustive database: The Great Corpus of French Language Dictionaries [9th – 20th Century] - All Reference Dictionaries On The Study Of The French Language The Great Corpus of Dictionaries gathers the 24 most important dictionaries on French language, in total about 200,000 pages (2,500 signs per page), 900,000 entries and definitions. It is the greatest collection today available on the subject. From the Dictionary of Old French language and all its dialects from the 9th to the 15th century (1881-1902) by Frédéric Godefroy, that is “ the essential element ” of Old French lexicography (Georges Matoré), to the Dictionary of the French Academy (1932-1935), devoted to modern language and characterised by an ever more reflexive and well-founded art of definition and by the intention to give a faithful reflection of the 20th century, and in everything in between, The Great Corpus of Dictionaries includes: -the Historical Dictionary of Old French Language by La Curne de Sainte-Palaye -the Dictionary of the 16th Century (1925-1967) by Edmond Huguet -the bilingual dictionaries, Latin-French (Estienne and Nicot) or English-French (Cotgrave) -the dictionaries by Gilles Ménage (1650 and 1694) -dictionaries that played a part in establishing the reputation of the French language, supporting a linguistic policy which aimed to give world-wide influence to French culture: Richelet, Furetière, each in its own way. -the Dictionaries of the French Academy, since the beginnings in 1687 to the present day, thus representing linguistic policy in France since the 17th century. -the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences published in Paris under the direction of Thomas Corneille -the Addition to the Dictionary of the Academy, under the direction of Louis Barré, took over that role in 1842. Dictionary of the Academy thus became a «Universal Dictionary» (Préface, p. XVIII).
