Dimitrios Panayotou Govdelas (1780-1831) was one of the Greek Enlightenment personalites who worked in the Romanian Principalities at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century and who promoted the project of the Great Idea, the restoration of an independent Greater Greece from the Sublima Porte, a project that was also assumed by the Phanariot princes of Moldavia and Wallachia. This idea brought the Phanariots into conflict both with the Ottoman Empire, which had appointed them as prince rulers in Bucharest and Iași at the beginning of the 18th century, and with part of the great boyars of Wallachia and Moldavia, a patriotic faction that opposed its own national identity to Greek nationalism. The two ideas on the definition of the homeland, the Greek and the Romanian, would come into violent conflict in the revolutionary circumstances of 1820-1821. Govdelas arrived in Iași as a professor at the Royal Academy of Greek Language in the early 19th century, where he promoted the ideals of the Great Idea. Even if the present work has a religious character, the perspective is an Enlightenment one, which fits in the specificity of the Southeast European Enlightenment, more conservative than the Western one, the former lacking the anticlerical and rationalist dimension of an author such as Voltaire. The copy, printed on watermarked paper on 0.16 mm thick files, has a vintage binding and is in very good condition.
