In Vienna, in addition to theological sciences, he studied philosophy and philology . After training, he taught philosophy at the Blagoe Lyceum .

For active participation in the events of 1848 , Pumnula was persecuted, and he emigrated to Bukovina . He lives with his friend Heraclius Porumbescu, the father of the outstanding composer Ciprian Porumbescu . Together with the Gurmuzaki brothers, in 1848 he published the Bukovina newspaper and became its editor.

In addition to the gymnasium, he teaches at a theological seminary. Actively engaged in cultural activities. In scientific and creative activities he proved himself as a talented linguist , author of didactic textbooks and other scientific works.

He promoted the use of the Latin alphabet instead of the Cyrillic alphabet, unsuccessfully tried to ban neologisms . He was a man of encyclopedic culture who believed in the power of education for the development of national revival and considered the central “question of language” ^[2] .
