THE ROLE OF HUNGARIAN CULTURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROMANIAN CULTURAL MOVEMENT DURING THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES

Summary/Abstract: In this article we intend to outline the cultural profile of the last half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. It is well known that the movement of the Transylvanian School was the promoter of modernization of Romanian culture in this century, its representatives are, in many respects innovators and pioneers: they wrote the first dictionary, the first grammar, the first history books, they lay the foundations of terminology in English and they are among the first translators. We want to reflect on how the representatives of the Transylvanian School, their immersion in Hungarian cultural life of the time contributed to their pioneering work in promoting Romanian culture. We highlight the role of cultural institutions, e.g. the schools in Cluj, Aiud, etc., different libraries and the typography at the University of Buda in terms of production and propagation of Romanian books, as well as promoting young Romanian intellectuals.
