On the basis of his own experience and my deliberations on the role and situation of the humanities today, the author attempts to define the research, cultural and educational field of the humanities, their historical horizon and contemporary perspectives. He highlights the necessity of humanist self-criticism. Only such a critical approach can appropriately grasp the question of what is happening with human dignity today, since throughout the world we are confronted with innumerable cases of encroachment on the fundamental dignity of human and nonhuman life. In this regard, the question arises of whether humanist sciences should be confined to the field of their discipline, or are they affected and effectuated by the crisis of the sense of humanity in such a way that they gain their meaning from it? The question goes deeper than would seem at first glance and it is therefore not possible to find an answer only on the basis of a presupposition of ethical principles; at the same time, however, it is necessary to strive towards the very essence of the origin of humanity. This essence is denoted by the possibility of articulating sense which is a key element of humanist activity and creativity.

The article discusses the question, if understanding can be comprehended as a relation – perhaps even as a distinguished relation – or do we have to attribute to it a distinctive non-relational character. The answer depends upon how we confront the very sense of understanding and whether the sense is disclosed as being a special “hermeneutic relation”. If this holds true, then the sense of understanding as a hermeneutical relation must be unfolded with regards to communication with the other and not be discussed as concerning only the ontological difference, but also the worldly interference, which denotes the encounter with the other.

The present work comprises a supplement to a book in Slovenian entitled Notarjeva javna vera. Notarji in vicedomini v Kopru, Izoli in Piranu v obdobju Beneške republike (Notary’s Public Confidence: The Notaries and Vicedomini in Koper, Izola and Piran in the Time of the Venetian Republic), published in 1994 in the collection Library Annales of Historical Society of Southern Primorska in Koper. In its main statements, this supplement does not differ itself much from the previous work it is adduced to; however, in the meantime, some valuable additional studies on the topic of notaries for the majority of European countries were published; these have been used to supplement the present work. This circumstance enabled me to deepen some general facts in comparison to other environments as well as to expose specifics of execution and operation of notary offices within different legal practices, customs, and regions, which is especially noticeable in supplemented chapter on Ritual of Notarial investiture.

Great Britain carefully monitored Yugoslav-Italian relations in the 1970s. At the beginning of the decade the border question became more and more a top priority for the two States, eventually solving it in November 1975 with the signing of the Osimo Agreements. British primary sources can offer us the opportunity not only to comprehend how the British Government and its diplomacy carefully attempted to follow the intricate question focusing on Osimo and its consequences, but also to understand the complicated context in which the last chapter of the border dispute between Yugoslavia and Italy “danced” together with other problems.Great Britain and the Italian-Yugoslav relations in the 1970s.
