Dimitrie Tichindeal (Romanian: Dimitrie Ţichindeal; a village near Timisoara, Banat, Austrian Empire, around 1760 - Timisoara, Habsburg Monarchy, 1818) was a Romanian writer and educator.
Biography
editHe was born into the family of the priest Zaharia and attended Serbian schools in his native village and in Timișoara, where he became familiar with Serbian and German.[1] Once he finished his studies, he became a teacher at Belinț (1794), and then at Beregsău and then school inspector[2] In 1801 he attended clerical courses in Timișoara, with teachers Pavel Kengelac and Mihail Roșu-Martinovici.[3] Țichindeal described the two teachers laudably as follows:
The Godhead was pleased to send to us more profoundly, but to our priest, the necessary enlightenment and deliverance from fools and vain believers, through the pre-initiated, highly learned Pavel Kengelați, the archimandrite of the monastery of S. George and doctor of holy theology, in the episcopal residence of Timisoara. This rather praiseworthy man from the divine garden gathered those flowers, which the prophets and apostles and the most glorious of all peoples teachers with their wisdom planted; and to us for the good smell of good deeds and for the enlightenment of the mind through us he plants them and imparts them to us. And secondly, the do-gooder Mihail Martinovici, the interpreter of theology in the episcopal residence of Timisoara.[4]
Dimitrie Tichindeal was a teacher at the teachers' school in Arad, but, persecuted by the government authorities for his patriotic Romanian stance, he left the service and took up a priest's position in his homeland[3].
He published: Filosofices ci si politicesci prin Fabule moralnice invetta uri adec a Fabule (1814), with the addition of moral and political instructions, constantly drawing attention to the social and political situation of the Romanians. This work - partly an imitation, partly a translation of the famous work of his countryman Dositije Obradović - is nevertheless full of patriotic inspiration and contributed to the awakening of national consciousness among the Romanians. A new edition was published in 1838[3].
