La renaissance culturelle Hellénique dans les pays Roumains, et surtout en Valachie, pendant la période préphanariote (1670-1714)
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this study the author examines the principal factors in the Danube
principalities which contributed to the creation of the Greek Enlightenment.
According to the author, the role of Ioannis Karyophyllis was of particular
importance, because he continued the philosophical tradition of his teacher,
Theophilos Korydaleus, which was based on Neoaristotelian philosophy.
Although the views of Karyophyllis had been accepted in Wallachia, the
reaction of his opponents (such as Dositheus, Patriarch of Jerusalem, Callinicus II, Oecumenical Patriarch, and Alexandros Mavrocordatos) was violent.
The Wallachian hospodars Constantin Cantacuzene and Constantin Bassarabe
made a notable contribution to the establishment of Karyophyllis’s new ideology in their country. Further contributary factors in the creation of the cultural renaissance in Wallachia were the Greek professors at the Academy of
Bucharest, the Greek humanist clerks, and also the Greek printing press of
Bucharest. The part played by the Greek and European artisti (physicians
and philosophers) in the Rumanian principalities was very important, because
they transported from the West the new European spirit fused with the Orthodox philospohical tradition. The contribution of the Greek employees of
the Wallachian court and the Greek merchants was also significant.
