The study presents the evolution of a work in the concourse of events of the epoch, a work which had completely been validated in the landscape of Romanian culture. Starting from the correspondence of the historian Coriolan Suciu, which can be found in the collections of the "Lucian Blaga" Central University Library, we can reconstruct the endeavours of the researcher to see the work of his life printed.
The investigation of the Dictionary allows us to include this type of preoccupation in the intellectual climate of Central Europe on account of the effort of creating fundamental instruments for the work of the researcher.
Finally, the study throws light on the person of a Transylvanian intellectual, a researcher in the field of history in the interwar period.
