Summary/Abstract: For the Romanian Country, the XVIth century is a time of a great contradiction: attempts to regain or maintain the independence of the country (politically) and a national cultural revival (spiritually). Political personalities (the rulers Radu the Great and Neagoe Basarab), spiritual personalities (the Holy Hierarch Niphon, former patriarch of Constantinople) and cultural personalities (monk Macarius) were active during this period in both directions. This study proposes a blueprint of the life and work of these religious and state figures that maintained the cultural life and supported Romanian dignity on this land, in the unsettled XVIth century.
