Story of the object
On January 11th 1830, „Iassyer medicinsche Lesevereine” (“Iasi Medical Reading Circle”) was established as an association with cultural and scientific purposes, bearing this name because most of its founding members - doctors, pharmacists, chemists, botanists, agronomists - studied in Germany, and some even of German nationality. Initially, the 21 members subscribed, at their own expense, to 11 German and one French magazines. Two of the members of this circle stood out for their superior culture: Dr. Mihai Zotta, chief physician of Iasi (a Romanian from Bucovina), and Dr. Iacob Czihak (Cihac), chief of the Moldovan medical police (Bavarian physician who came to Iasi in 1825). They were the first to initiate the establishment of a scientific society, first called the “Moldovan-Romanesque Medical Society”.
