Ion Budai-Deleanu

Ion Budai-Deleanu (* 6. January 1760 in Cigmău , Hunedoara county , † 24. August 1820 in Lviv ) was a Romanian writer, historian, linguist, linguist and Rumänist .

life and work

Budai-Deleanu studied at the seminary in Blaj and from 1777 to 1779 at the University of Vienna . From 1780 to 1783 he was a scholarship holder at the Barbareum, the Greek-Catholic seminary of the Barbarakirche (Vienna), and received his doctorate there. In 1787 he was briefly a professor at Blaj's seminary, but because of a conflict with Bishop Ioan Bob he went to Lemberg and made a career there at the court.

As an intellectual supporter of the Enlightenment and (together with Petru Maior , Samuil Micu and Gheorghe Șincai ) as a representative of the Transylvanian School movement , a Romanian emancipation movement that emphasized the Romanic origins of the Romanians, he wrote numerous writings, most of which only after his death or even have recently been published. His burlesque national epic in twelve chants Ţiganiada sau tabăra ţiganilor (The Gypsy Camp ), written in Lemberg in 1800 (second version 1812), was not printed until 1875–1877.
