# Dataset Card for "larousse_1905_wd"
The *Petit Larousse illustré* is a French dictionary first published in 1905. 
Its division in two main parts on language and on history and geography corresponds to a major 
milestone in French lexicography as well as a repository of general knowledge from this period. 
This dataset connects all the entries of the history and geography part (named entities) 
to wikidata items.

See the paper, [Connecting a French Dictionary from the Beginning of the 20th Century to Wikidata](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.11022) for a full description.
