Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal, the Largest Dictionary in Book Form

The first fascicule (A-Aanhaling) of the Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (English: "Dictionary of the Dutch language") was published in The Hague in 1863. This became the largest dictionary in the world in print, eventually containing over 430,000 entries of Dutch words from 1500 to 1921 in 43 volumes and close to 50,000 pages. The last fasciculde (Zuid-Zythum) was published in 1998. Three supplements containing modern Dutch words were published in 2001.

Since January 27, 2007, the dictionary has been available online. There is no charge for access but registration is required.
