Ionel Pop - Correspondance

Summary/Abstract: Letters were both a form of communication and a literary genre for the Transylvanian scholars during the 19th century. Ionel Pop (1889-1985) belongs to this group of distinguished professors from Blaj, the first of whom was Timotei Cipariu (1805-1887). In this paper we have focused on the letters Ionel Pop sent to professor and journalist Viorica Lascu-Borza (n.1918), the daughter of the eminent botanist Alexandru Borza, and on the correspondence between Ionel Pop and Monica Lazăr (1932-1985). The correspondence between Ionel Pop and Viorica Lascu-Borza provides valuable information on the scholars in Blaj (Al. Lupeanu-Melin, Ioan Georgescu etc.), on the celebrations occasioned by 50 years of Astra activity in Blaj and on the major contribution that local scholars brought to the Great National Union in 1918. The correspondence between Ionel Pop and Monica Lazăr mostly refers to the preparation of the entry on Ionel Pop which was to be included in M. Zaciu’s Dictionary of Romanian Writers.
