On the cultural unity of Europe and a European dictionary project.
There is a cultural unity of Europe, notwithstanding the Reformation. This unity must be 'consciously' recognized, in order to develop the concept of European togetherness. The paper will examine the common roots of the European vocabulary, submitting the project for the compilation of some dictionaries, to which European colleagues will be called to contribute. European languages must be studied no more as 'national' languages, but in the context of the European tradition, emphasizing what they have in common, and not what separates them. Hence the necessity of compiling dictionaries on a new basis, of which early, summary indications are given.
