Example text
Civilisation" is a recent term in the French language. According to a remarkable study by Lucien Febvre that appeared in the publications of the Centre de Synthèse, it only occurs in print in 1766, and its invention can probably be attributed to Culture and Civilization 55 Baron d'Holbach. 3 At rnore or less the sarne date, the word Kultur appeared in the German language, and the English word "civilization" is found in I772 in a text attributed to Dr. Johnson. This sirnultaneous act of creation, in which it is very difficult to know what role was played by borrowing, rais es problems that cannot be dealt with in a few words.
