Summary/Abstract: The present communication demonstrates the special artistic value of Anthim the Iberian’s writings and the ability of this modern writer to use a particularly beautiful Romanian language, learnt in his adoptive country and mastered the way a native speaker would. The stylistical analysis of two of his sermons, dedicated to the Lord’s Mother, highlights that Metropolitan Anthim can be considered “a forerunner of the poetical prose in the Romanian literature”, able to construct true lyrical works meant to move but also to instruct, morally, the public or the audience.
