Following the work of Pierre Larousse on the Grand dictionnaire Universel, the Grand Dictionnaire Encyclopédique Larousse (), a ten-volume dictionary, was published in Paris between 1982 and 1985 by ÃÂditions Larousse. It is an encyclopedia and a dictionary merged in a single alphabetical listing. Beneath the standard dictionary (meanings, usages) entry comes the encyclopedic section.
Articles are illustrated by photographs, maps, chronologies and diagrams.
