The G. Calinescu Institute of Literary History and Theory in Bucharest (Romanian Academy) established, in 2026, a digital philology laboratory, integrated into the Critical Editions Department. The first initiative of this working group (made up of George Neagoe and Mihăiță Stroe) was to create, in collaboration with the computer scientist Adrian Cosmin Popescu, a digital working framework. The purpose of this tool is to build a corpus of critical digital editions of the classic authors of Romanian literature: Mihai Eminescu, I.L. Caragiale, Tudor Arghezi, Mircea Eliade, Camil Petrescu and others. Thus, we aim to offer an image that goes beyond the authorial centrality in scholarly editing. We are also interested in showing, by comparing multiple windows, how a text has changed from one edition to another. In addition to this, we try to highlight, through genetic criticism, how various ideologies (communist propaganda, censorship, rewriting) participated in the reconfiguration of drafts and manuscripts. At this moment, our study is concerned with Camil Petrescu’s novel "Un om între oameni" ["A Man Among Men"], about Nicolae Bălcescu, an important figure of the Revolution of 1848. It was written between 1950-1957, in the Stalinist period of Romania.
