Summary/Abstract: The object of this paper is the study of a bilingual letter book with a view to the employed terminological means. They are presented in several thematic fields and interpreted in terms of their composition, semantics and etymology. Of particular interest is the terminological lexicon in letters of an administrative, legal and commercial nature, which belong to several areas: administrative units and institutions; legal and administrative terminology; documents, acts and other forms of public interaction; positions and posts; commercial and financial terminology. The terminological lexis is structured as small dictionaries, presenting the term words and phrases independently. The dictionaries explain the meaning of each term, accompanied by an etymological reference.
