About Nicolae Creulescu
- Nicolae Cre?ulescu (Romanian pronunciation: [niko'la.e kret?su'lesku], surname also spelled Kretzulescu; 1 March 1812 – 26 June 1900) was a Wallachian, later Romanian politician and physician.
- He served two terms as Prime Minister of Romania: from 1862 to 1863, and from 1865 to 1866.
- He was elected to the Romanian Academy.
- He was the 3rd president of the Romanian Academy from 1872 to 1873. Born in Bucharest, he studied medicine in Paris, having Gustave Flaubert as a colleague.
- As a physician, his notable work was the translation of Jean Cruveilhier's manual of anatomy. A member of the Liberal faction, Cretulescu first became prime minister after the assassination of Barbu Catargiu, under ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza.
- He avoided debating the issue of land reform, at that time the most contentious subject in Romanian politics; instead, Cre?ulescu focused on unifying the public health system, creating the Directorate General of the Public Archive, and establishing a Council for Public Instruction.
- Additionally, he laid the groundwork for further laws secularizing the property of monasteries.
