never heard of word "oecuménique"

[yong leong]

   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?

[Remy Martin]

oecuménique = universel/universal . It is mostly used in religious talk .

Inouï masculine , Inouïe feminine . It means never heard of , or incredible , extraordinary etc...

Thank you Remy, I need the whole sentence translated really.  If you can do that I would be grateful. Thanks nevertheless.

[Remy Martin]

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 .
