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

• 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 Answer

• 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.
