Grimm's German Dictionary - Grimm's German Dictionary (English) Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm

Japanese: グリム･ドイツ語辞典 - グリムドイツごじてん（英語表記）Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm

An enormous German dictionary started by the Brothers Grimm of Germany (1854-1960). It consists of 16 volumes and 32 books. During the brothers' lifetime, they only made it to the middle of F (Frucht), and their work was passed down to successive generations of scholars, but in 1909 it became the project of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. After World War II, the editorial offices of the two eastern and western divisions cooperated beyond political positions, and the dictionary was finally completed more than 120 years after it was first drafted (1838). This book is notable for its detailed retrospective analysis of changes in word form, meaning, and usage based on German words from the 16th century onwards.

ドイツのグリム兄弟によって始められた膨大なドイツ語大辞典(1854‐1960)。全16巻32冊。兄弟の生前にはFの途中(Frucht)までしか進まず，遺業は代々の学者に引き継がれたが，1909年以来プロイセン科学アカデミーの事業となった。第2次大戦後は東西に分かれた編集所が政治的立場を超えて協力し，立案(1838)後120年余を経て大辞典は一応の完結を見た。本書は16世紀以降のドイツ語を見出し語とし，語形，語義，用法の変遷を詳細に後づけているところに特徴がある。
