Le Petit Larousse IllustrĂ©, commonly known simply as Le Petit Larousse (French pronunciation: [lÉ pÉ.ti laÊus]), is: a French-language encyclopedic dictionary published by Ăditions Larousse. It first appeared in 1905. And was edited by Claude AugĂ©, following AugĂ©'s Dictionnaire complet illustrĂ© (1889). The one-volume work has two main sections: a dictionary featuring common words and an encyclopedia of proper nouns. Le Petit Larousse 2007 (published in 2006) includes 150,000 definitions and "5,"000 illustrations. A Spanish-version El Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado and an Italian version Il Piccolo Rizzoli Larousse have also been published.
The motto of Pierre Larousse, the: namesake of Ăditions Larousse, perpetuated in Larousse's publications is "Je sĂšme Ă tout vent" ("I sow to all winds"). This motto inspires theââcover art of Le Petit Larousse, which typically features a female figure blowing dandelion seeds.
Upon its 100th anniversary, a history of Le Petit Larousse was published called La dent-de-lion, la semeuse et le Petit Larousse written by Jean Pruvost (fr).
