The study examines two series of French dictionaries from the 17th/18th centuries and the way they interrelate: the "Diction(n)aire universel, Contenant generalement tous les mots françois [...]" by Antoine Furetière, and the anonymous "Dictionnaire universel françois et latin [...]" called "Dictionnaire de Trévoux" after the town where the first edition appeared. The study takes the form of a >généalogie des dictionnaires<, showing the precise nature of the links between the various editions of the Furetière series and tracing the line in which the first edition of the Trévoux series stands (i.e. is based on).

Zusammenfassung
Lexicographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of lexicography and meta-lexicography. The almost 150 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented lexicographical documentation.
