 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).
