I am very grateful to our colleague Daniele for his contribution and his generosity: his work is a useful tool because it is not merely a list; all of us know that every entry in every dictionary describes the entire cultural and scientific meaning of a word in its environment.

Oggetto: [SHOE] economic dictionaries
Dear HES-ers,
As one of the outcomes of a recent research, I have compiled a list of dictionaries of economics and related disciplines (about 650 titles for more than 1,100 different editions, from Choel's 1709 to today). I have posted it here: http://www.danielebesomi.ch/dictionaries/bibliography. As the above-mentioned work I undertook with some colleagues involved entries on crises and cycles and related subjects, a number of these (the copyright free ones) are also posted on the web site, at http://www.danielebesomi.ch/dictionaries/crises_in_dictionaries/entries_crises/crises_entries.html . This includes entries authored by writers such as Blanqui, Juglar, Tugan-Baranowsky, Edgeworth Mitchell, Spiethoff and others.
I hope this list of dictionaries and its sorting according to different criteria (chronological, by compiler, by size, language and scope) may be of some use: after all, dictionaries are not only reference sources for contemporaries, but taken as a whole they are precious witnesses for posterity concerning the moods, views, approaches, theories and styles of their epoch.
Although I have tried to produce a list as exhaustive as possible, I may have missed some items in the main European languages, and I have surely missed most in the languages of which I have no understanding. I would appreciate if you could communicate any relevant omission you may notice by means of this form: http://www.danielebesomi.ch/dictionaries/submission_form/dictionaries_submission_form.php ; please only focus on monolingual dictionaries and ignore handbooks, textbooks etc. Thank you very much.
Best, Daniele Besomi
