The texts were almost contemporary, since they are all written in the second half of the 18th century, but they were written in different milieus (Moldavia, Wallachia and Milan), on the basis of distinct sources: one is inspired by the Byzantine literature, one by German texts, and one by Romanian and Turkish documents. The authors’ education and proximity to the princely milieu explain their converging interest in this literary genre.

Thus, Philotheosʼs Leisures, novel of a complex personality, indicates to the reader an engaged ruler, nourished both by the teachings of the ancients and the modern thinkers alike, whose visionary actions are counterbalanced by a permanent reflexivity on the existential instances. My work traces some of the more pronounced aspects of his writings that can be seen at various levels of the book, but also the profile of a leader worthy of such a title.

The first version is shorter, containing many cuts and marginal notes, some of which were inserted in the second version, enlarged and very close to the Russian variant. The contrastive analysis of the two Latin versions will mainly look at structural changes, perspective on bibliographic information, the importance of elements added to the second Latin version.

It was considered obscure, for instance, a simple compilation or a note between his truly relevant writings. Few appreciated the actually philosophical reflection of Cantemir (as did Lucian Blaga). What I would like to argue is that in that writing his authentic metaphysical calling became obvious. The metaphysical or speculative attitude (in the old acceptation of the term) was understood by Cantemir either as orientation of the mind towards the previous, the metaphysical (which, in his words, “is inherently universal”), or as enigmatically and partially knowledge (ut in speculo) of the divine, previously mentioned by Christian scholars. Thus we can explain some hard philosophical ideas in his writings, such as that the truth cannot be but one and the same, that…
