It was commissioned in 1809 by Napoleon I, who entrusted the task of preparing the work to French merchant-trader, ambassador and sinologist Chrétien Louis Joseph de Guignes. De Guignes had spent seventeen years from 1784 to 1801 in China where he travelled extensively and served for a time as ambassador to Canton. From 1794-95 he acted as interpreter to Isaac Titsingh, the Dutch ambassador to the court of the Emperor Quianlong in Peking, where they witnessed the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Emperor's reign. Shortly after publication it became known that the dictionary had actually been compiled by the Italian Franciscan friar, Basilio Brollo de Gemona sometime during his years as a missionary to China from 1684 to 1704, and had circulated in manuscript after his death.
