terms marked with ^† are often without further comment. They come from the experience of people who have translated large tracts of Salesian literature, e.g. Fr Borgatelli’s translation of the Memorie Biografiche. In other words most of these terms are dated ones, found only or mainly in older Salesian texts. To view terms in context, click on the text indicator below the term (not all terms have one as yet).

umanesimo Cartmiss.txt - L’umanesimo salesiano. Return to top	IT	humanism 人道主義	EN-EN ZH	The term is relatively recent in Salesian writing – after Vat. II and in GC 23 (1990) especially where it speaks of a new humanism.	Salesians readily recognise the Christian humanism of Francis de Sales and of Don Bosco with its optimism, openness to the world, but its equally strong emphasis on charity toward human beings. Salesian humanism is a term that implies everything positive in the life of people, in things, in history. For the Salesian Sisters it also means a special understanding of the place of women in the world and in society and in the Salesian mission (e.g. the Auxilium in Rome, which works at the promotion of women in the world and the Church; VIDES, the international Salesian development agency).

umiltà Dbmosf.txt - modesta fece poco rumore; ma col suo lavoro indefesso, colla sua umiltà, e colla sua scienza era un vero	IT	humility 謙遜	EN-EN ZH	‘Renditi forte, umile, robusto’: so says DB in MO describing what the Woman said to him in his first dream at 9 years of age.	‘Be strong, humble and brave’. What are we to make of the fact that in the very first version DB had written "sano, forte e robusto" then crossed out sano and put umile? Cerrato (Vi Presento Don Bosco LDC 2005) says that DB would have 'heard' these words in Piedmontese as "san, fort e robust', the first meaning well-behaved, of good conduct, the second, strong, the third courageous. His choice in Italian of 'umile' then, seems more a making clear of how a 9 year old could be good.
