Summary/Abstract: The scientific work of Ovidiu Bîrlea is that of a complex researcher, with an impressive cultural horizon and with very rigorous research methods. First and foremost a folklorist, he always uses knowledge and working tools specific to other sciences – ethnology, ethnography, anthropology, history, literary criticism, linguistics, geography, musicology, choreography. With their help, he carries out the most extensive, detailed and profound analysis of Romanian folklore thanks to which our folklore managed, at the end of the 20th century, to synchronize with the European one. This achievement ensures its author an essential role in the evolution of Romanian research on popular creation.
