Le Grand Ricci
This large-scale cooperative research and publication project featured the participation of dozens of international scholars in both an advisory board and an editorial committee. Its result, Le Grand Dictionnaire Ricci de la langue chinoise (widely referred to as Le Grand Ricci) is the most comprehensive up-to-date dictionary of Chinese in a modern Western language. Comprising 6 volumes of over 1,200 pages each, as well as 1 volume of annexes totaling 1,377 pages, it was developed by the Ricci Institutes of Paris and Taipei; While Le Grand Ricci was first published with Desclée De Brouwer in 2001, it is now with les Éditions du Cerf. The online version of Le Grand Ricci, developed by Brill, allows the user to perform queries through all 13,392 main entries (single characters) or 280,000 expressions (or Chinese words composed of a set of characters).
