His researches traced the forms that these hierophanies have taken throughout the world and through time. [http://www.mircea-eliade.com/from-primitives-to-zen/mircea.html]

Bucharest, Romania
Died April 22, 1986(1986-04-22) (aged 79)

Web Wikipedia,

Mircea Eliade (1907–1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. He is known for his research of the symbolic language used by various religious traditions.

Biography

Eliade took an M.A. in philosophy from the University of Bucharest in 1928. He studied Sanskrit and Indian philosophy at the University of Calcutta (1928-31) and then lived for six months in the Ashram (hermitage) of Rishikesh, Himalaya. Returning to Romania, he earned his Ph.D. in 1933 with the dissertation Yoga: Essai sur les origines de la mystique indienne [Yoga: Essay on the Origins of Indian Mysticism] and was named assistant professor at Bucharest, where he taught the history of religions and Indian philosophy (1933-39). In 1945 he went to Paris as a visiting professor at the École des Hautes Études of the Sorbonne. In 1956 he became professor of the history of religions at the University of Chicago. In 1961 he founded the journal History of Religions.

Eliade considered religious experience in traditional and contemporary societies as credible phenomena that he termed hierophanies (i.e., manifestations of the sacred in the world). His research traced the forms that these hierophanies have taken throughout the world and through time. [1]
