Born in 26 October 1673 in Sili?teni as the son of the Moldavian Voivode Constantin Cantemir, from the boyar family of Cantemir (lower Moldavian nobility). His mother, Ana Bant??, was a learned and enlightened woman of noble origins. (However, not satisfied with his status, Cantemir later forged his paternal ancestry and pretended to descend from a (...non-existent...) Khan Temir, of Tartar origins.)
