never heard of word "oecuménique"
Here is the complete sentence " Zheng He constitue un manifest oecuménique tres en avance sur son temps voir sur le nôtre et un plaidoyer en trois langues pour la tolérance"
( from The chinese maritime history of Zheng He )
Second question is - is this word "Inouie" (f ) Inoue (m) commonly use in french today?

Zheng He constitutes an œcumenical manifesto well ahead of his own times , even ahead of our own era, and a 3 languages discourse on tolerance .
