Damaschin Bojincă

Damaschin Bojincă (1802–1869) was an Imperial Austrian-born Moldavian writer and jurist.

Entering the Vršac theological seminary, he soon left the institution, preferring to study philosophy and later law in Timișoara, Oradea and Budapest.

The work to which he devoted the most time, that he considered his most important and that essentially capped his career in historiography was the 1832-1833 Anticile românilor ("Antiquities of the Romanians").

Moving to Moldavia in 1833, he remained there for the rest of his life, working as a lawyer, as rector of Iași's Socola Monastery seminary and as a teacher at Academia Mihăileană.

In 1860–1861, during the United Principalities period, he served as Justice Minister at Iași.
