Émile Littré (1801–1881) was a French philosopher, lexicographer, and physician best known for his contributions to the French language through the creation of the "Dictionnaire de la langue française" (Dictionary of the French Language). His dictionary, first published in 1863, is notable for its emphasis on literary and historical quotations and for providing context for the usage of words, making it a significant work in lexicography.
