I. C. Massim (orIoan C. Massimu; 1825–1877) was aRomanianlinguist and a founding member of theRomanian Academy. I. C. Massim was born Ion Floricel in the village ofGropeni,[1] near theDanube port ofBrăila as the son of a country priest. He changed his name to Maxim, derived from the name of his birthplace, and signed his books as I. C. Massimu. The crowning achievement of Massim's linguistic career was the 1875 publication, together withAugust Treboniu Laurian, of the first completedictionary of theRomanian language, a monumental work that included two volumes of words ofLatin origin and a comprehensive glossary of words "of foreign, dubious or unknown origin".
