Littré - Littré (English spelling) Maximilien Paul Émile Littré

French medical historian, philosopher, philologist, and lexicographer. He initially studied medicine. He was fluent in several languages, and completed a Greek revision and French translation of Hippocrates (1839-1861). He sympathized with Comte's positivist ideas, and even after Comte became mystical, he continued to preach rationalism that placed the utmost importance on reason. He became particularly famous for compiling the Dictionnaire de la langue française (4 volumes, 1863-1873, supplemented in 1877), commonly known as the "Dictionary of Littré." This was a groundbreaking dictionary that described word origins, word history, and grammatical points in addition to meanings and examples, and had a great influence on writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was a member of the Academy.

フランスの医学史家、哲学者、文献学者、辞書編纂(へんさん)者。初め医学を学ぶ。数か国語をよくし、ヒポクラテスのギリシア語校訂版と仏訳を完成(1839~1861)。コントの実証主義思想に共感し、コントが神秘主義的になったのちも理性を最重視する合理主義を説いた。彼をとくに有名にしたのは、俗に「リトレ辞典」とよばれる『フランス語大辞典』Dictionnaire de la langue française(4巻1863~1873、補遺1877)の編纂である。これは語義と例文のほかに語源、語史、文法事項をも記述した画期的な辞典で、19~20世紀の文人に大きな影響を与えた。アカデミー会員。
