Nicolae Ivan văzut de contemporanii săi
Nicolae Ivan as seen by his contemporaries

Summary/Abstract: On the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Orthodox diocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj, as a successor to the old Romanian dioceses of Vad and Feleac, the figure of its first bishop, Bishop Nicolae Ivan, was and is often evoked. A bright figure of our ecclesiastical and national past, Nicolae Ivan received attention from his contemporaries, both before and after his ordination as bishop. In this context, I considered it interesting to research the way in which public interwar personalities, such as Ioan Lupaş, Nicolae Iorga, Onisifor Ghibu, Silviu Dragomir, journalists at secular newspapers of that time, among others, perceived the personality of the bishop of Cluj. In the end, I came to the conclusion that the appreciation was unanimous, all those mentioned highlighting his household spirit, seriousness, hard work, wisdom.
