The editing of his writings, their exegesis, the dimensions of cultural institutionalization, as well as other aspects related to the reception of his work and biography are systematically followed, depending on the agenda of each political regime and the priorities of each epoch that naturally selects a Cantemir’ “of its own’’; the approach thus contributes to the creation of a multifaceted profile of the illustrious Moldovan and European voivode and scholar. Whether it be the historical and philosophical recovery, the literary and musical one, the fictional images in prose and cinematography or the political implications, the Cantemirian image is continuously enriched, amplifying the potential of interest…

At the same time, there are mentioned the controversial issues related to the biography of the scholar, from the origin of his family, the place of birth, to the less known periods of his life (for example, being in Istanbul in 1688 (1689) – 1691), including his relations with various personalities of his time, also the biographies of his descendants. The author also addresses the many issues related to the genesis and publication of Cantemirian works, the need to edit the complete works of D.

His project started in 2003, with the republication of the Romanian works of the Prince, and continued between 2014 and 2020, bringing to the public new editions and new translations. This paper will also underline some of the discoveries regarding Cantemir’s bibliography, such as the impact of the compilation Machumetis Saracenorum principis eiusque successorum vitae ac doctrina ipseque Alcoran (1543) or of the works by Petrus Berchorius, Petrus Galtruchius, Nicephoros Blemmidas etc. These critical editions could stimulate future research on Cantemir’s intense and diverse scientific works.

In its essence, the writing displays a confessing mechanism by means of which the two literary critics’ existences intermingle to generate a seducing confession about Life and Literature. In the end, Eugen Simion’s aesthetic credo is pointed out so as to express his critical perspective on literature itself.

The Introduction signed by Eugen Simion (revisited and completed, for the 2019 edition) reiterates – even if the discussion may have seemed completed since the ‘60s – the issue of whether the writer who debuted, in 1924, with Kyra Kyralina in the Rieder collection Contemporary French Writers…

Emphasis is placed on the permanent shift between identification and critical distancing, these two processes contributing to a certain methodology of the interpretative act. Eugen Simion’s moderate discourse implies a certain mediation of opposites, thus reaching a rejection of univocal postulates and perspectives, considered definitive and unassailable. However, the Romanian critic does not question some ideas just for the sheer pleasure of deliberation, even though, from numerous pages, it follows that this pleasure might be real. He is mainly interested in the practical efficiency of some methods of literary interpretation and valorization through the suitability to the object. Concepts can be empty of essence if they have no practical utility. From this perspective, Eugen Simion…

We identify a series of essential questions which refer to the necessity of an intimate diary, to its function, to the existence of a poetics of a diary. Simion (re)establishes some concepts related to this kind of writing, and to identifying a relation between the author, the narrator and the characters…
