One example of an abridged dictionary is the "Concise Oxford English Dictionary," which features condensed definitions and fewer entries compared to the full Oxford English Dictionary. Another example is the "Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition," which offers a more compact version of the full Webster's Third New International Dictionary.

The problem with asking questions in English is that you need to have some grip on the language before you start asking. "Abridged of dictionary" is meaningless. Possibly you are thinking of the expression "an abridged dictionary". "Abridged" only means "made shorter". Dictionaries can be abridged by leaving out some words or by making the definitions shorter, or both. There are many abridged dictionaries of English out there, all with larger brothers, each one no doubt with an entry for the word "art", different in detail but the same in substance. Go to a library. Ask to see their dictionaries. Choose an abridged one. Look up "art".

This is incorrect. An unabridged version contains all the original content of a book or dictionary with no omissions. A shortened version is usually called an abridged version or condensed version.
You would likely find a short, easy-to-understand definition of the word "vanquish" in an abridged dictionary of the English language. A legal dictionary would focus more on legal terminology and definitions as they relate to the law. An unabridged dictionary of the Latin language would provide detailed definitions of Latin words, not English words like "vanquish."
