The list of the scientific publications by Alexandru I. Lapedatu contains 424 titles[37].

International missions

In 1917, the Triple Alliance armies occupied Bucharest and were advancing towards Iasi. The Romanian Government decided to move the State Treasury to Russia, in two transports, delegating Alexandru I. Lapedatu to accompany the second one that included cultural goods[22]. He left Iasi for Moscow on 28 July 1917, and stayed there until 19 December 1917, experiencing the arrival of the Bolshevik revolution[19].

Political Activity

Descending from a family keeping “strong the awareness of the rights of the unbending man”, remaining “tenacious its aspirations”[26][29], Alexandru I. Lapedatu participated already in his school years, as many of his generation, in Romanian protests and demonstrations like the ones in Iasi, in solidarity with the authors of the Memorandum[19]. During his University studies in Bucharest, he was an active member of the Liga pentru Unitatea Culturală a tuturor Românilor / League for the Cultural Unity of all Romanians[29].

At the foundation of the new University of Cluj, Alexandru I. Lapedatu was elected as the first Senator to represent it in the Romanian Senate 1919-1920[19].

His first elected office as a member of the Liberal Party was in 1922 as a member of the Chamber of Deputies from Ceica (Bihor). After this, he has been elected either in the Chamber of Deputies of in the Senate in all terms till 1940; he became Senator by right in 1936 and was elected President of the Romanian Senate (16 November 1936-20 March 1937). After the absolutist regime was deposed, he was elected in the Chamber of Deputies for the last time in 1946 -1947[39].

Alexandru I. Lapedatu joined the National Renaissance Front established by King Carol II of Romania (Royal Decree Nr. 4321 from 15 December 1938)[42] as the only political organization legally allowed in the country; Carol II transformed the Front into the Partidul Națiunii / Nation’s Party (Royal Decree Nr. 2056 from 22 June 1940) that was dismantled by the prime minister Ion Antonescu (Decree from 9 September1940) three days after Carol II abdication[42].

After King Michael's Coup d’état from 23 August 1944 that removed Ion Antonescu from power, the political parties prepared to re-enter the political life and Alexandru I. Lapedatu leads the effort of the Partidul National Liberal (PNL) / National Liberal Party in Transylvania, supporting the Brătianu family[39] (a parallel effort with the same objective was led by Gheorghe Tătărăscu). Alexandru I. Lapedatu enters in some circumscriptions in Transylvania in an electoral cartel with the Peasants Party obtaining a modest and ephemeral electoral success in the elections from 19 November 1946, when two candidates were elected, him in Cluj and Vasile Netea in Satu Mare, in spite of the tremendous pressure and falsifications perpetrated by the Blocul Partidelor Democrate / Block of Democratic Parties dominated by the communists[26]. He soon recognized that the communist repression will prevail, but did not give up hope: on 30 September 1949, it is reported to the Securitate that Alexandru I. Lapedatu “believes in the future of the nation and in the capitulation of Russia and of communism”[26]. His vision has been confirmed more than 50 years later, with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Romanian Participation in the Paris Peace Conference (1919)

Alexandru I. Lapedatu engaged politically in working for the Romanian unity in 1918, as President of the National Committee of the Romanian Refugees from Austria-Hungary, established in Odessa on 21 January 1918[19], then moved to Iași, that pursued the political unity of all Romanians[14] and intended to represent them in Thomas G. Masaryk's Nationality Association in Kiev. Through this Committee, Alexandru I. Lapedatu connected with key political personalities in Romania and, thanks to the support from the French Ambassador, the Count of Saint-Aulaire, with the Triple Entente representatives[19]. On 6 / 19 October the Committee issued a Declaration, distributed to all political actors including King Ferdinand I, contesting the manifesto of Charles I of Austria proclaiming the federalization of the Empire and demanding that all territories inhabited by Romanians be united with Romania[20].

Experiencing the depressing installation of a German Mission in Iasi as a consequence of the Treaty of Bucharest (1918), Alexandru I. Lapedatu published the paper “Chestiunea transilvana / The Transylvanian Issue” in "Neamul Românesc / The Romanian Nation" stating that the Romanian issue shall find its solution when the situation of all nationalities will be addressed at the peace negotiations at the end of the war, expected to happen soon[19].

In his letter from 28 June 1918 to the President of the National Liberal Party, Ion I.C. Bratianu, Alexandru I. Lapedatu expressed the urgent need for a document summarizing the Romanian position in the political evolution to be expected in the near future, specifically addressing: 1) the geographical, ethnical, social, cultural and political situation of the Romanians in relationship with the other nationalities; 2) the historical and political evolution between Romanians and Hungarians; 3) the denationalization policies in Transylvania and Bukovina; and 4) the impossibility to implement autonomy, federalization etc. and the unavoidable dismantling of the Danube monarchy to create new national states[20]. In recognition to his competence, Alexandru I. Lapedatu has been nominated between 1919 and 1922 as an expert in the Romanian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference (1918)[14]; the documents he authored have been submitted by Romania to the Conference and have been used by the Romanian Delegation as basis for the negotiations[43].

The Cultural Policy in the United Romania

Alexandru I. Lapedatu had cultural activities in various associations and foundations, such as in the Asociația Transilvană pentru Literatura Română și Cultura Poporului Român (ASTRA) / Transylvanian Association for the Romanian Literature and the Culture of the Romanian People[44] that proclaimed him honorific member of (8/9 November 1924)[44] and elected him member of the "demographic and ethnology-politic section" (14/15 September 1935)[44]. For ASTRA he provided funding[44], held conferences[44], supported the publication of the ASTRA library[44], and donated the Fund “Al. I. Lapedatu”[44].

Alexandru I. Lapedatu expressed his conviction that promoting the cultural development is an essential mission of the State and the nation, and proposed and implemented policies pursuing the enhancement of the cultural and artistic prestige of all cities, and of the country as a whole[22].  Alexandru I. Lapedatu formulated the principles of the monument preservation and restoration already in 1911[22][45]. Under his leadership, the Section of the Historical Monuments Commission in Cluj executed in 1929-1948 more than 240 conservation and restoration projects, addressing Romanian heritage such as antiques Roman and Dacian vestiges, medieval stone churches and monasteries, wooden architecture, rear glass painted icons, the Hunedoara and Bran Castles, the Sutu palace and the Filipescu House in Bucharest etc.[46] After 1918, the Commission for Historic Monuments also undertook large restoration works on monuments belonging to Hungarian or Saxon minorities including Roman-Catholic or Evangelical churches in Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu, Brasov, Alba Iulia, Sighisoara etc.[47]

As Cults and Arts Minister for almost seven years, he pursued a wide the areas of activities:

  • He initiated and/or supported the establishment of museums in Bucharest (National Pinacoteca, “Theodor Aman”, “Kalinderu”, “Simu”); in Cluj-Napoca (Ethnographic Museum, Museum of the Romanian Language, the National History Museum)[22]; in Vidra (“Avram Iancu” Museum)[22]; in Turnu Severin (remains of the Trajan’s bridge across the Danube); in Alba Iulia (Museum of the Union), in Constanta (Dobrogea Museum)[22]; as well as in many other cities among which Turda, Sighisoara, Oradea, Arad, Sighetu Marmatiei, Timisoara, Dej, Herculane, Caransebeș, Târgu Mureș, Sarmisegetuza, Năsăud, Bistrița, Brașov, Făgăraș, Blaj, Sibiu, Zalău, Satu Mare,[22] Deva, Piatra Neamț etc.[46]
  • He supported financially and participated in the unveiling of public monuments dedicated to Romanian historic and cultural personalities among which Gheorghe Lazăr (Cluj, 1924); Avram Iancu (Baia de Cris, 1924); Ion Creangă, Nicolae N. Beldiceanu, Dimitrie Anghel, Nicolae Gane and Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea (Iași, 1924)[22]; Ioan Mihaly of Apșa (Sighetu Marmatiei, 1925); Stephen The Great (Chișinău, 1925); Michael the Brave (1926, Guruslau, dismantled in 1940 by the Hungarian authorities)[48]; B.P. Hasdeu (1927); D. Onciul (1927); Vasile Alecsandri (mausoleum in Mircesti, 1928)[22]; Horia, Closca and Crisan (Alba Iulia 1929); Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea (Oradea, 1934); Ecaterina Teodoroiu (Târgu Jiu, 1935); Vasile Lucaciu (Satu Mare, 1935); Spiru Haret (1940) etc.[46]
  • To stimulate the development of the national culture, Alexandru I. Lapedatu as Minister of Cults and Arts institutes in 1925 the National Awards for Culture and Arts[22]. Considering that establishing theatrical institutions in the national language is a moral duty in the new provinces, a direct contribution to the cultural unification, he collaborates with the dramatic authors, actors, directors and producers, submits to the Parliament for adoption and signs the Lege pentru organizarea si administrarea teatrelor nationale si controlul spectacolelor in Romania / Law Regarding the Organization and Administration of the National Theaters and the Performances Control in Romania[49], establishing a safety net for the artists, with payment, retirement, litigation and other rights, and the obligation to show original plays in Romanian language, completing the repertoire with international works.[22]

The General Regime of the Cults in Romania (1926 – 1948)

The first challenging task of Alexandru I. Lapedatu as a minister has been to establish a legal frame for the cults in the unified Romania[50]. He presented the statement of reasons for the law clarifying that in the united Romania, besides the Orthodox Church, the State recognized the following cults: Romanian Greek-Catholic (united), Catholic (of Latin, Greek and Armenian ritual), reformed (Calvin), evangelic-Lutheran, Unitarian, Mosaic, Muslim and finally Baptist (recognized only in Transylvania), each governed by a different legislation in the regions coming from Russia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria respectively the Romanian Kingdom[51]. The framework was set by the Constitution from 1923 that guaranteed absolute freedom of consciousness and equal treatment for all cults, except that it stipulated that the Orthodox Church was dominant, and the Greek-catholic cult has priority[52].

Alexandru I. Lapedatu worked towards a legislation reinforcing the State sovereignty and secularity.

  • First, he proposed a law to elevate the status of the head of Romanian Orthodox Church to the rank of a Patriarch; it was adopted by the Parliament on 25 February 1925, with his signature as the responsible minister[53];
  • Second, he worked with the Orthodox Church to define its Statute unifying the differences among the different regions; upon his proposal, the Parliament adopted the Statute by the law from 6 May 1925, with his signature as the responsible minister[54];
  • Third, he collaborated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to re-start the negotiations on a Concordat with the Vatican and concluded them on 15 January 1926 when an official text was agreed upon by both parties [19]; the Concordat was signed on 10 May 1927 and ratified on 12 June 1929[55].

Since the two exceptions mentioned in the Constitution were no more in the position to challenge State prerogatives, it was now possible for Alexandru I. Lapedatu to submit to the Parliament, after animated consultations and debates, a project that obtained almost the unanimity of votes both in the Chamber of Deputy and in the Senate; it was adopted on 22 April 1929[56] and remained in power until 1948[51]. It was an essential achievement toward the unification of the young Romanian State[50].
