ONE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LANGUAGE LECTURE ROMANIAN AT JAGIELLON UNIVERSITY IN KRAKOW

Summary/Abstract: From the beginning of their activity, all the great Romanian Slavists, starting with B. P. Hasdeu, I. Bogdan, P. Cancel, N. Cartojan, P. P. Panaitescu, and continuing with exegetes that were especially affirmed after the Second World War (I. C. Chiţimia, G. Mihăilă, Dan Horia Mazilu, Dan Zamfirescu) understood the importance of researching the connections between culture ancient Romanian and the south-eastern and central European space. Their studies revealed the particularities of our culture, its connections with the Byzantine world through the Slavic intermediary, taking over and adapting models, but also the effort of creation and own thinking, manifested in largely original texts and chronicles (see Neagoe Basarab's Teachings). A real the pioneer in this direction was the scholar N. Cartojan, who intuited and promoted the main links and spiritual bridges between our culture and the Byzantine world, as well as the western one. Thanks to Cartojan, his young assistant Ion Constantin Chițimia receives a scholarship to study in Poland (1934-1938), which will enable him to learn the language and thoroughly acquire old Polish literature and folklore under the guidance of the scholar Julian Krzyżanowski. In the academic year 1948/1949, I. C. Chițimia will lay the foundations of the department of Polish philology at the University of Bucharest, contributing to the organization from the beginning and the consolidation of Slavic studies in post-war Romania.
