Mitropolitul Andrei Şaguna – personalitate culturală de excepţie a Transilvaniei
Archbishop Andrei Șaguna- an Exceptional Cultural Personality of Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna dedicated his life both to the noble purpose of recognizing the rights of Romanians from Transylvania, as well as for the restoration of the ancient independent Romanian Metropolises for all of the Orthodox Romanians situated in the region of Ardeal and in Hungary. Being a lover of culture and science, he realized that the future of Romanians from Transylvania depends mainly upon education, thus he take care in this regard of the establishment of different types of schools: secondary and theological schools that were missing almost entirely from Transylvania. Because he cherished books, during his lifetime he had a rich publishing activity, by reediting and translating everything he considered necessary for the culture of the Romanian people. Using his own resources, the Metropolitan founded an archdioceses printing house, a place where his newspaper, “The Romanian Telegraph” was printed.
