Ioan Bogdan (historian)
In a land called Romania, long ago,
Lived a man named Ioan Bogdan, you should know.
He was a linguist, historian, and more,
With a love for words that would truly soar.
Born in 1864, in a town so quaint,
Șcheii Brașovului, where his dreams would paint.
He studied the language of Slavic and Romanian,
Unraveling their mysteries, like a true champion.
With his pen and his books, he'd dive deep,
Into the world of philology, he'd take a leap.
He wrote studies and papers, oh so grand,
About the languages of his beloved homeland.
In 1903, a great honor he received,
Elected a member of the Academy, he believed.
A titular member, with prestige and pride,
Ioan Bogdan's legacy, forever will abide.
Though he left this world in 1919,
His work lives on, like a shining gleam.
So let's remember Ioan Bogdan's name,
A linguist, historian, of great acclaim.
