THE EFFORTS OF THE SCRIBAN BROTHERS (NEOFIT AND FILARET) IN THE EVENTS PRECEDING THE UNION OF THE ROMANIAN PRINCIPALITIES

Summary/Abstract: Neofit and Filaret Scriban, two very well-known Romanian clergymen, had an important contribution in that defining historical episode for what is today called Romania. Although they did not have a main role in the unfolding of the events that led to the Union of the Romanian Principalities, the Scriban brothers had an indisputable role. By their erudition recognized by all, by the fact that they were factors in the formation of public opinion through their writings and speeches, Neofit and Filaret can undoubtedly be considered as having a well-deserved place among the makers of the Union of 1859. What some historians called the "current of the Scribans" is an indisputable historical fact, an expression that demonstrates the fact that these two Romanian clerics left a contrasting imprint of their personality, culture, patriotism and faith.
