Full issue of this scholarly journal in English and French. Contributor Ioan Petru Culianu's copy, containing his article "The Sun and the Moon" (pp. 83-97). 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.
