EVUL MEDIU BĂNĂȚEAN REFLECTAT ÎN OPERA LUI GHEORGHE COTOȘMAN
THE BANATIAN MIDDLE AGES REFLECTED IN THE WORKS OF GEORGE COTOȘMAN

Summary/Abstract: Born on 5 September 1904 at Sânnicolau Mare, Gheorghe Cotoşman finished the Pedagogic School in 1924. From 1924 to 1927 he attended courses at the Theological Academy of Arad. Between 1928-1937 he functioned as a parish in Jimbolia, Timiş county, where he erected a church. From 1937 to 1948 he worked as a professor of Church History and Patrology at the Theological Academy of Caransebeş. In 1948 he moved to Timişoara, working at the Metropolitan Seat of the Banat. Between 1949 and 1950 he was a cultural councillor at the Archbishopry of Timişoara, then its vicar (1950-1968). In his secular activity he was a member of the History section of the Institutul Social Banat-Crişana of Timişoara. Gheorghe Cotoşman was one of the most prolific Banatian researchers in the period between 1935-1975 spotlighting the history of the Church and some important aspects concerning the Middle Ages of the land. A critical study about his historical research has never been made and the most representative part of his works calls for a critical edition. He died in 1977.
