Foundation of the Roumanian Academy (1864)

• “Mr. C. Karadja, Consul General, is not only an emeritus bibliophile, a renowned bibliographer, but also a diligent researcher … As a bibliophile, he has gathered a rich library of incunabula, of rare editions and of studies of the greatest utility …. Mr. C. Karadja has generously endowed our library with innumerable books of the greatest historical and bibliographic value. For these reasons, the undersigned propose the recognition of his merits by calling him in the Academy, as an honorary member”

C. I. Karadja , Member of the Roumanian Academy: The Laudatio

• “I thank you deeply touched by your considerate words about my modest works of history (…). I receive your call with humility, as I envisage it the dearest to receive in my life, of being an honorary member of this first institution of culture of the country. This feeling of humility is accompanied by one of joy. I will no longer say like Ovid “Nitimur in vetitur semper, cupimusque negata”, as You, dear colleagues, have offered me more than I could have the right to crave as a result of my modest

works.”• ( C. I. Karadja’s answer, June 6th, 1946)
