Ricketts Correspondence

// Gligor M. Mircea Eliade between the history of religions and the fal linto history. Presa Universitară Clujeană 2012. p. 67-178.More than one time Ioan Petru Culianu (1950-1991) had acknowledged himself – with a more or less declared modesty – a disciple of Mircea Eliade, to whom he bound his whole existence. Once was in an interview recorded on 30 October 1984. Speaking then about the importance of Eliade in Romanian culture, he affirmed that this man was the opener of a school which as yet has not given many fruits, but which, undoubtedly, will give them.1 It is unnecessary to add that the most important representative of the Eliade school in Romanian culture was he himself, and Culianu was very conscious of his position.
