Summary/Abstract: The Bukovinian professor Nicodim Ițcuș – known in the world of letters by his special intellectual stature and the dedication in supporting the young literary talents – left behind numerous manuscripts, due to the glazing of the times in which he lived. The text below contains the second part of the history of Bukovina written by Nicodim Ițcuș, with its most important moments, from 1848 to 1918. The reader will discover the names of some of the political and cultural Bukovinian personalities who were involved in the Romanian cultural-national movement up to 1918, such as Simion Florea Marian, Zaharie Voronca, Epaminonda Bucevschi, Aron Pumnul, Mihai Eminescu, Hurmuzachi brothers, I.G. Sbiera, Valeriu Braniște, George Popovici, Iancu Flondor, et al. In addition, the following paper presents important data about the cultural societies, the Romanian political parties, and the other ethnic groups in Bukovina, as well as about political and cultural periodicals that have contributed to the definition of the local and regional cultural identity. These pages were influenced by the last “detour” of Bukovina, hence the accents of the author’s national identity pathos, more vivid in a time when the leveling roll of the socialist culture manifested itself.
