Résumé anglais A Jesuit doctrin of the example. The Dictionnaire Royal Augmenté by François- Antoine Pomey. In 1671 François-Antoine Pomey published a French-Latin dictionary, the Dictionnaire Royal, which reflects of the changes of the lexicographical practices of the times. The originality of Pomey's dictionary consists partially in a new conception of the example, which now becomes a constitutive element of the dictionary. Pomey has recourse to two categories of examples : made-up examples and quotations. The made-up examples investigate into syntactic constructions, transmit knowledge (encyclopaedic and cultural value), and give examples of « amplification » (pedagogical function). The quotations of Latin authors induce perfect eloquence ; the quotations of French authors justify a word's introduction into the nomenclature. In addition to these pedagogical and didactic examples, there arises the role that the examples and quotations will play in future single-language dictionaries.
