Pavel Vasici-Ungureanu

After completing the primary grades at the Romanian school in the Maiere district, he attended the city's gymnasium from 1819 to 1824 and proved a gifted student.

His devotion to the poor led some to ask that he be named chief physician of the city, but he met opposition from certain members of the non-Romanian middle class.

[2] He knew German, Hungarian, Serbian and Latin; Nicolae Iorga later imagined him as "a man with a poetic bent, an open mind able to group originally his wide knowledge from different areas, and also endowed with the gift and wish to write nice, delicate, flowery prose that his fellow Romanians could understand, and whom he wished to benefit".

He assisted George Bariț in educating the Romanian peasantry, contributing regularly to Foaia pentru minte, inimă și literatură from the time it was founded; and to Gazeta Transilvaniei from 1843.

[3] Influenced by the intellectual ferment in Brașov, where revolutionaries from the Danubian Principalities took refuge, he sought to strengthen links with these Romanian-speaking areas and advocated for national unity during the Transylvanian Revolution of 1848.

As adviser and later inspector of Romanian Orthodox schools, he made diligent efforts to improve Romanian-language education in Transylvania.
