Absract. The handwriting Maurizio da Castellazzo‘s dictionary is likely to be the first survived Bulgarian-Italian Dictionary of the times of the Bulgarian Revival. It was created by a Catholic missionary, probably in Rakovski area, in purpose of getting familiar with the flock of believers. The dictionary is valuable with its concrete parameters of the interlingual symmetry in sounds, letters, meanings, idiomatics, but just as important is the contemporary Bulgarian worldview, fixed in and by the words, the material and the spiritual culture of Bulgarians, and the ethnocultural identity of the Bulgarian Catholics.
Keywords: Bulgarian Catholics; Bulgarian and Italian languages; ethno-cultural identity
