About “Dictionnaire des Antiquités grecques et romaines”
The Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines was a large illustrated French-language dictionary of Ancient Greece and Rome, edited by Charles Victor Daremberg and Edmond Saglio. It was published in 10 volumes between 1873 and 1919 by Hachette Livre in Paris. The work aimed to explain terms related to the customs, institutions, religion, arts, and daily life of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Each entry was written by classical scholars, including François Lenormant. The dictionary sought to challenge the dominance of German scholarship in the field. In 1887, John E. B. Mayor praised the Dictionnaire in The Classical Review, calling it the most beautiful and complete work of its kind and essential for classical libraries and public libraries frequented by scholars or artists.
