  Pierre Larousse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Athanase Larousse (October 23, 1817-January 3, 1875) was a French grammarian and lexicographer born in Toucy.
In 1869 Larousse ended his partnership with Boyer and spent the rest of his life working on the Great Dictionary.
The dictionary was finished by Larousse's nephew Jules Hollier in 1876, after Larousse's death from a stroke caused by exhaustion.

Le travail de Larousse présentait certes de nombreux défauts (parti-pris idéologiques, style très personnel, un fouillis parfois peu méthodique, etc.) qui pouvaient limiter la valeur strictement informative de l’ouvrage pour les contemporains.
Les historiens s’y réfèrent depuis longtemps (Pierre Nora, Pascal Ory) et lui ont d’ailleurs consacré de riches études.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | Books | French up in arms over foreign 'threat' to Larousse
Larousse is now being presented as a gleaming example of that "Franco-French cultural exception" whose demise, Messier predicted earlier this year, was imminent.
The launch of the 2003 Petit Larousse (a compact encyclopaedia) and the opening of an exhibition at the Palais de la Découverte in Paris that charts the history of the Larousse publishing house have taken place in a particularly sensitive political and financial context.
Larousse is a thriving group, even though 2002 has been marked by industrial unrest sparked by the company's plans to move its various divisions into a single head office in the district of Bercy, in eastern Paris.

 Guardian | French fear Larousse dictionary may fall into foreign hands
Larousse, more a way of life than the country's most popular dictionary, is threatened by a foreign takeover in the middle of celebrations for its 150th birthday.
Bought by Vivendi Universal four years ago, it is feared that Larousse may become the latest victim of the near-collapse of the media giant.
Visitors to the Paris exhibition are attracted as much by nostalgia as the historical narrative surrounding its founder, Pierre Larousse, a militant republican whose educational ambitions preceded the introduction of free schooling.

Also known as GDEL or G.D.E.L. This standard reference set, the first to consult beyond the Petit Larousse for French-related questions, began with Pierre Larousse's Grand Dictionnaire Universel of 15 volumes published between 1865 and 1876, with two supplements.
Encyclopedia sections are unsigned, and bibliographies appear at the end of the letter of the alphabet where Larousse lists the headword again and then the bibliographic references below it (a technique used in other French reference works).
Illustrations accompany the text throughout, both fl and white and color, and the Grande Dictionnaire continues the Larousse tradition of naming the various parts of things--machinery, animals, and scientific processes for example.

The alternate approach has given rise to encyclopedias that are basically collections of monographs (longer pieces of writing on single topics).
Among those who undertook the task of correcting Moreri's original errors and omissions was French philosopher and critic Pierre Bayle, whose Dictionnaire historique et critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary, 2 volumes, 1697) is the most famous encyclopedic work of the 17th century.
It was frequently translated and reissued, and it won a permanent place in the history of literature as well as lexicography because of the simplicity and clearness of its style.

The Grand Larousse was everything to me; I would take down a volume at random, behind the desk, on the next-to-last shelf.
It's a fair bet that Pierre Larousse would have used photographs in his grand dictionary if he'd had the technology to print them properly.
At the same time the engravers in the Larousse offices in the Boulevard de Montparnasse were copying the works of Corot and Courbet for the dictionary's illustrations, Picasso and Brancusi were working in studios just a few meters away.

While the full text for both projects has been made available for immediate access, ARTFL is continuously improving upon the data capture by eliminating typographical errors that occurred during digitization.
The full text of the third edition (1552) of Robert Estienne's Dictionarium latinogallicum has also recently been added (in cooperation with the University of Toronto) and a project to capture the full text for the 1740 edition of Pierre Bayle’s Dictionnaire historique et critique is currently underway.
Other titles considered for full text capture, and for which ARTFL would like to collaborate with interested institutions, are the 20th and last edition (1759) of Louis Moréri's Grand dictionnaire historique and Pierre Larousse’s Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle, as well as the Dictionnaire de la conversation et de la lecture.
