The Encyclopedia of Chinese Language and Linguistics offers a
systematic and comprehensive overview of the languages of China
and the different ways in which they are and have been studied.
It provides authoritative treatment of all important aspects of
the languages spoken in China, today and in the past, from many
different angles, as well as the different linguistic traditions in
which they have been investigated.

“For linguists working on Sinitic languages, the ECLL will be a
useful supplement to the Routledge Encyclopedia of the Chinese
Language (Chan 2016), though they no doubt cover some of the same
ground. While that work focused on Sinitic, the scope of the ECLL
is broader, covering the larger language ecology of China (broadly
defined within the ECLL to include Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Tibet).
This means that the ECLL is also extremely useful to Southeast
Asian linguists and goes a long way toward bridging the gap that
often exists between linguistic research in the geographic regions of
Southeast Asia and China.”
- Rikker Dockum (Yale University) in: Journal of the Southeast
Asian Linguistics Society, 2018.

Le Grand Ricci Online

Le Grand Dictionnaire Ricci de la langue chinoise, or rather, as it has
become widely known since its publication in 2001, Le Grand Ricci
is the most comprehensive up-to-date dictionary of Chinese into
a modern Western language. Though it covers the whole history of
Chinese language development, most of the dictionary deals with
early and imperial period Chinese language usage. Explanations
and translations are in French. *

Our user-friendly online interface allows the user to efficiently
perform even complex queries through all 13,392 main entries
(single characters) or 280,000 expressions (or chinese words
composed of a set of characters).

Entries can be looked up:
• by chinese character
• by romanization (pinyin) (with or without tones)- by radical
(Kangxi or simplified) and the number of additional strokes
• by total number of strokes (of the simplified or traditional forms)

The words (expressions) can be looked up:
• by their chinese characters
• by the romanization (with or without tones) of their component
characters
• in both cases one can use one, several or all of the components,
either as a precise sequence or anywhere (and in any order) in the
chinese word

* Le Grand Ricci was developed by the Ricci institutes of Paris and
Taipei through the Ricci Association (www.grandricci.org).

Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the
Neo-Latin World Online

Edited by Philip Ford (†), Jan Bloemendal and
Charles Fantazzi

CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2014

With its striking range and penetrating depth, Brill’s Encyclopaedia
of the Neo-Latin World traces the enduring history and wide-ranging
cultural influence of Neo-Latin, the form of Latin that originated in
the Italian Renaissance and persists to the modern era. Featuring
original contributions by a host of distinguished international
scholars, this comprehensive reference work explores every aspect
of the civilized world from literature and law to philosophy and the
sciences. An invaluable resource for both the advanced scholar and
the graduate student.

The online edition gives access to a number of newer entries that
are not included in the print edition and also includes corrections.

“ Brill’s Encyclopaedia of the Neo-Latin World is a marvel. A
collaborative reference work featuring contributions from
seventy-nine different scholars, it manages both to provide an
overview of the complex (and to our minds, frequently alien)
world of Latin culture and scholarship from the Renaissance
down to the present day, and to create a repository of
historical, contextual, and literary research that will shape the
direction of international Neo-Latin studies for the foreseeable
future. […] What has been created by the editors is nothing
short of the defining work of a field in rude health, and a
marker that will direct the future of the discipline.”

Vol. 68, No. 2
