Summary/Abstract: The subject of female angels has long fascinated mankind, not just believers, but also artists, poets, musicians. The purpose of this study is to give an essential overview of what Mihai Eminescu would have the model readers to know about the female angels and demons based upon what it is actually contained in his literary work. Mihai Eminescu also inaugurated a tradition of writing with and about angels in Romanian literature, following the example of Dante Alighieri and John Milton, a tradition respected in the XX th century by Vasile Voiculescu, Nichita Stănescu, Fănuş Neagu, George Şovu, Andrei Pleşu and so many other important Romanian writers.
