Summary/Abstract: The article discusses new unpublished documents which supplement those presented in the earlier articles published in this journal (the issues VIII, IX and X). Appendix 1 contains seven new pieces belonging to the correspondence of I. P. Culianu with Mac Linscott Ricketts. In order to further contextualise them I have added a contemporary exchange between Ricketts and Joseph M. Kitagawa, along with Kitagawa’s unpublished review of Ricketts’ monograph about Mircea Eliade (appendices 3 and 5). Appendix 2 adds three new pieces to the correspondence of I. P. Culianu with Mircea and Christinel Eliade. Again, for a better contextualisation and understanding of them, I added the exchanges of Fernand Schwarz with Mircea and Christinel Eliade (appendix 4). In most of these documents, the main topic of interest for the discussion carried on in the article is Culianu’s attitude towards the accusations of philo-Fascism and anti-Semitism brought to Mircea Eliade.
