Two full issues of this scholarly journal in English and French. Contributor Ioan Petru Culianu's copies, Volume 2 containing his article "Some considerations on the works of Horia Stamatu" and Volume 3 his article "The Sun and the Moon." Ioan Petru Culianu (or 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.
