It is difficult to find a second scientist in the history of Romanian culture and science - next to Dimitrie Cantemir. Dmitrie Cantemir who had a wide encyclopedic horizon, writing: History of the Ottoman Empire; Curanus; The system of the Mohammedan religion... We will not refer to this Cantemir. Dimitrie Cantemir was more than a scientist willing and able to "dig" to the depths. He was a scientist extremely attentive to the issues that troubled the communities, and confessional issues occupied a significant position. Anti-Catholic zeal, observes professor Alexandru Eliam, was notorious. We would like to talk about another Cantemir, about that Cantemir who was able to observe and decant a fundamental attitude. Cantemir - who worked on building the image of the foreigner looking with a Romanian eye.
