Summary/Abstract: This year, 2020, marks two hundred years since the passing to the eternal ones of an important Romanian writer and scholar of the Transylvanian School Ion Budai-Deleanu (b. 6 Jan. 1760 - d. 24 August 1820, in Lemberg, Austria Empire), author of the only successful Epic poetry in Romanian literature, Țiganiada, a work that could be printed and integrated into the circuit of our culture only over a hundred years after its elaboration. The Gypsy Epic was capitalized by literary critics especially in terms of the comic dimension, as a burlesque work, with allegorical and parodic features. But in our opinion, this Epic also has a tragic and prophetic substratum. Revealing this substrate is the purpose and originality of our approach.
