Description

A very elegant edition, with great care in typography, of the Dictionnaire de l'Académie Françoise: the text in three columns is accompanied by clear engraved headers and capital letters. As indicated on the frontispiece, this is a Nouvelle Edition: the first complete edition of the Dictionnaire was published in 1694, the result of the long and troubled work of the Académie, founded by Richelieu in 1635, modeled on the Italian Renaissance academies, as an instrument of state control over the language. In the dedication to the King of this edition, the Académie emphasizes the increased importance of its work: the Dictionnaire, created to be useful to the Nation, has become a “Livre pour l'Europe”, asserting the pre-eminence of French culture in the life of the intellectual elites of the continent.
