The Plena Ilustrita Vortaro of Esperanto , PIV in summary, complete illustrated Dictionary of Esperanto in French, is a tool of reference of the community esperantist and an essential component for the maturity of this language. Without dictionary of this type, null language could not indeed be regarded as a stable literary language. It is the work of esperantologists and specialists placed under the direction in Gaston Waringhien, and is published by the Worldwide association Anationale (SAT) for which it constitutes at the same time a pride and an important source of revenue.
The dictionary remakes surface in 1970 under the name of Plena Ilustrita Vortaro (PIV), republished twice then affublé into 1987 of a supplement worked out under the direction of Roland Levreaud.
The PIV was regarded per many espérantophones as making authority, mainly because of its width without equivalent (an index of 15 200 words, 39 400 lexical elements). Nevertheless criticisms were made hear on, shovel-mixes, too large influences of French or a too marked political tendency. Moreover, the term of magazine was a little usurped considering the little of illustrations present, which were in addition relegated in an appendix.
In 2002, after several years of work appears an in-depth re-examined republication under the direction of Michel Duke-Goninaz under the title Nova Plena Ilustrita Vortaro of Esperanto . The edition of 2002 has an index of 16 780 words and 46 890 lexical elements. illustrations from now on are directly integrated in the definitions.
The new PIV was presented for the first time at the time of the congress of SAT (July 1st, 2002 - July 7th, 2002 with Alicante, Spain).
Since 2004, the 2000 specimens of the original edition were exhausted.
New corrected edition in March 2005.
