Louis Moréri’s Le Grand Dictionaire Historique (first published in 1674) was a foundational work in the development of encyclopedic dictionaries. Its influence on subsequent reference works—both secular and religious—was profound and wide-reaching. Here's a summary of its key impacts: It created the Template for the Encyclopedic Dictionary. It Shifted Reference Works from Clerical to Scholarly Tools. It had a European-wide influence as it was translated into Dutch, German, English, and Italian. It Established a Tradition of Successive Editions and Collaboration. And it anticipated the Enlightenment's Desire for Ordered Knowledge.
