Abstract: The text describes the life and work of the Moldavian prince Dimitrie Cantemir (1673–1723), based on Serbian, English and Romanian material, mentioning his work in Russian and Turkish literature. Dimitrie Cantemir was an exceptional person, philosopher, writer, musician, polyglot, politician and academic, so he is remembered in historiography more as a writer than as a statesman or military leader. This text offers Cantemir’s biography from his birth in 1673 to his departure from Constantinople and his schooling in the Eastern way. The description of Dimitrie Cantemir’s participation in the Pruth River campaign in 1711 aims to explain the geopolitical events in Bessarabia, from the Battle of Poltava to the Battle of Pruth. It depicts his exile in Russia and the period of his most prolific work. This work offers short descriptions of most of Cantemir’s philosophical, historical and musical works and his private life.
Keywords: Dimitrie Cantemir, Peter the Great, Sava Vladislavich–Raguzinsky, Charles XII, Pruth river campaign, early enlightenment.
