Overview

Demetrius Cantemir has several reputations, for Romanians he is revered as a major national cultural figure; on the intellectual map of 18th-century Europe he is seen as an important historian; and in Turkey, where he is known as Kantemiroglu, he is recognized for his accomplishments in the field of music, as performer, theorist and, above all, composer. This text examines Cantemir's life and studies his work in these different fields.
