Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Iorga is a monumental person in the history and culture of Romania. Very often he also spoke about Polish issues in the broader sense, both about scientific and political matters. His involvement in Polish issues is noticeable almost constantly during his scientific and political career. From the time of primary school to his tragic death, through his teachers, professors or later political partners, Poland and its affairs have often been present through many aspects of his activities. Thanks to historical education, Iorga saw Poland as an important partner of Romania on the international stage, moreover, not only as a guarantee of political security; but also an important partner in the context of cultural development. Nicolae Iorga was the initiator of the creation of Romanian philology courses at the Jagiellonian University. For his important role in strengthening relations between Poland and Romania in many fields of cooperation, he was given a honorary doctorate by Wilno University in 1931.
