Littré

This is a bibliography page, concerning a work to which reference is made elsewhere in this guide.

Littré, Émile (1863–77) Dictionnaire de la langue française , four vols (originally issued in 30 parts, 1863-72) 1863–77, Paris, Hachette

A second edition was published in 1872-1877. An on-line version is available at [[1]] (2010).

The Dictionnaire is commonly called simply the "Littré". OED often cites it - it seems to be the reference of choice for French words, origins, etc, in the first edition.
