Summary/Abstract: „Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, commemorated in 2021, five decades since the passing into eternity of professor Valeriu L. Bologa, the founder of the Romanian school of medical history. The study aims to highlight the personality of this eminent mentor and researcher in the light of his fruitful scientific results in the field of medical historiography. He approached different topics such as: less known historical figures of physicians from Transylvania and Banat, the etymology of medical terms, medical quackery, folk medicine, medical philosophy, the history of pharmacy etc. All this brought elements of novelty and original directions of research in Romanian medical historiography. Lettered bibliophile, Valeriu Bologa founded the reference library of the Institute for the History of Medicine. Member of numerous national and international academies, distinguished with many awards for his prodigious research and educational activity, V. Bologa remains among the most refined professors of the medical school in Cluj and a cherished scientist in Romania and abroad.
