Tight and attractive issue of this scholarly Romanian studies journal, almost entirely in French. Contributor Silvia Chitimia, a Romanian folklorist, inscribes and signs the title page in green finelin…e in Romanian to Petru Culianu, dating it from Groningen, Netherlands on 6 August 1982. Ioan Petru Couliano (1950-91) was a controversial Romanian philosopher, essayist and historian of ideas, religion and culture; on May 21, 1991, he was murdered -- some say assassinated -- in a bathroom at the University of Chicago's Divinity School, likely because he proved a vocal critic of Romania's Communist post-Revolution regime in interviews and articles. Quite unusual.
