Life
Vasile Aaron was the son of a pastor and also began church training by studying theology . Later he graduated in Cluj ( rum. Cluj-Napoca ) to study law and was a lawyer in the Transylvanian Sibiu ( rum. Sibiu down).
In the spirit of Latinizing enlighteners, Vasile Aaron wanted to promote popular education. His most important work is a poetry about the suffering of Jesus Christ in ten songs, which he published in 1805 under the title Patimile și moartea a Domnului și Mîntuitorului nostru Isus Hristos . The epic Messiah by the German poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock served as a model for this work . In addition, Aaron also devoted himself to secular subjects in his writing. He gave u. a. Paraphrases of works by important ancient poets, for example an arrangement by Ovid's Pyramus and Thisbe in 1807 and an arrangement by Virgil's Georgica in 1820 . Aaron transferred another work by the latter Roman poet, the Aeneid , but this arrangement did not appear until posthumously in 1877.
