Summary/Abstract: Bukovina, as an integral part of Moldavia, which benefited from a rich cultural activity developed in monasteries, continued to stand out in this domain, starting with the Schools of Copyists and Translators, and ending with the Academy of Putna, founded by Archimandrite Vartolomei Mazareanu, modeled after the one in Kiev.After Bukovina was occupied by the Habsburg Empire, the Theological Institute was founded in Czernowitz in 1827. Through the efforts of the Metropolis of Czernowitz and of Bukovinian intellectuals, the University of Czernowitz was founded in 1875, comprising three faculties: a Greek-Oriental Theological one, a Juridical one and a Philosophical one, in two languages- Romanian and German.An important role within the University of Czernowitz was played by the Faculty of Theology which, through its professors and students, honored this highly appreciated University.
