This is the first scholarly edition of the Dictionnaire Republicain et Revolutionnaire (DRR) by Jean Rodoni. It also includes a collection of anecdotes (1795) assembled by Rodoni and very closely bound up with the Dictionary. The volume opens with a detailed Introduction by the editors. Unlike other contemporary revolutionary dictionaries, the DRR centers largely on everyday vocabulary and draws in a variety of ways on the Dictionnaire de l'Academie Francaise . The DRR is only the third homonym dictionary in the entire history of French lexicography. It not only describes linguistic phenomena but also conveys a graphic impression of everyday life during the French Revolution.
