Legăturile lui Teodor Botiș cu familia Mocioni
Theodor Botiș’s links with Mocioni Family

Summary/Abstract: Teodor Botiş was noted as an important personality of Arad culture in the first half of the 20th century. As a historian, some of his works have received awards from the Romanian Academy. He began his work as a pedagogue for Eugen Mocioni’s children and became a close friend of the Mocioni family, with whom he had been in touch for all his life. For three decades he has participated in the most important events that took place at the Mocioni Castle in Căpâlnăş, being with this family in the most beautiful moments, but also in the most difficult ones. For instance, in 1915, the intellectual of Arad was with the Mocioni family, grieved at the death of Petru Mocioni on the Galician front, and in 1930 and 1934 attended the funeral of two other members of the family, Ionel Mocioni and Terezia de Mocioni. Deeply marked by the drama of the family, but also impressed by the role played by this in the history of the Romanians from Banat and Transylvania, Teodor Botiş began to write a series of articles evoking the work of the members of the Mocioni family. Having access to the family archive,the historian from Arad also wrote the Monograph of the Mocioni family, a work published in 1939 in Bucharest and appreciated by the personalities of the time.
