This paper aims to illustrate a difficult period in the history of the Romanian Church United with Rome, namely: the evolution of the Greek Catholic Diocese of Cluj-Gherla in the first two months after the split of Transylvania, as a result of the Vienna Diktat. The purpose of this article is to highlight the consequences that the entry of NorthWest Transylvania into Hungary had on the Greek Catholic Diocese of ClujGherla; what changes the new administration brings to the United Church. After highlighting the general framework (status, economic situation, the attempt to subordinate the greek-catholic dioceses to the Archdiocese of Esztergom, as well as the pressure on the Greek Catholic believers to change their denomination), the activity of bishop Iuliu Hossu is also presented. Emphasis will be placed on the bishop’s efforts and attempts to stop the abuses of the new authority on the Romanian population, his attempts to mediate conflicts between Romanian and Hungarian leaders, and last but not least the efforts made to manage the administration of the Greek Catholic Diocese in the new political context. The article also presents the situation of educational institutions under the auspices of the United Diocese of Cluj-Gherla, and the difficulties they face as a result of changes in the education system.

BISHOPS , *FAMILY archives , *SIXTEENTH century - Abstract
The paper is an attempt to reconstruct the importance of alimentation for the economic and cultural development of an episcopal town in Medieval Transylvania, by the example of Alba Iulia (Gyulafehérvár, Weissenburg) in the first decades of the 16th century. The inquiry is based mainly on sources from the family archive of bishop Ferenc Várdai (1513-1524): accountable registers, missives, testament, etc. The text is divided into three parts, the first traces the provenience of consumed food, while the second and third one show the personnel and inventory related to the nourishment of the bishop and his household. The bishop played an ambivalent part in the economic development of his residence town. On one hand, he stimulated its development by granting privileges, creating workplaces and attracting a large number of potential buyers, on the other hand, he inhibited economic growth by spending relatively small sums on food purchases in the town, retaining the monopoly of wine trade and imposing taxes. Sumptuous meals aimed to express the power and wealth of the bishop and thus to attract more and more people, familiars, into his household. The episcopal household from Alba Iulia had certainly a significant part in disseminating the Renaissance lifestyle throughout Transylvania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
William Coxe is a leading English traveller and memorialist who in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, published a series of books about Central and Eastern Europe. Born in London in 1747 and educated at Eton College, William Coxe was able to visit on several occasions this geographical area, as guardian of some young men, members of English aristocratic families. All his travels and experiences were published by the author in various papers, most of them having a strong historical and memorialist character. His work "History of the House of Austria, from The Foundation Of The Monarchy by Rhodolph of Hapsburgh, The Death of Leopold The Second: 1218 … to .. 1792" was published in two volumes in London in 1807. The above mentioned book is William Coxe's most important historical work and, by its magnitude, paves the way for the Anglo-Saxon historiography which systematically dealt with the Habsburg Empire history . His book also contains original documents, though his own writing is of the dullest manner and shows no higher qualities than those of the conscientious analyst. This paper aims to follow how the author and the Anglo-Saxon perceived political relations between the House of Habsburg and the Principality of Transylvania in the nineteenth century from the perspective of Russian-Austrian-Turkish war of 1787- 1792 period.

DRAGOTĂ, Aurel
- Abstract
This paper focuses on the graves belonging to the Magyar warriors that had been discovered within the Alba Iulia-Staţia de Salvare necropolis in the period 1979-1981. The urbanistic activities carried out in the funerary area located on the northern part of the fortress consisted of digging the foundation of some apartment buildings. The team, composed of scholars from the National Museum of the Union (M. Blăjan, I. Şerban) and from the Institute of Archaeology and Art History, Cluj-Napoca (Ştefan Pascu), identified in the above mentioned area, alongside the numerous roman and medieval graves, a number of 13 Magyar warriors with their inventory (M. 36, M. 54, M. 298, M. 304, M. 322, M. 392, M. 417, M. 517, M. 537 b, M. 584, M. 630, M. 664 şi M. 691). The graves' description was made in accordance with the digging journals kept in the personal archive of fellow colleague Mihai Blăjan. More than half of the graves (M. 36, M. 417, M. 304, M. 517, M. 537 b, M. 664 şi M. 691) had the sepulchral pit covered and set up with lithic material, custom frequently observed in some cemeteries from Alba Iulia dated in the 10th-11th centuries (Izvorul Împăratului, Str. Brânduşei). As regards the equine offering, composed of skull and partial limbs, it was identified in just one warrior grave (M. 630). The funeral inventory recovered was composed of everyday tools and objects (flint, lighter, fold used for sharpening, knives), jewelry (looped rings, rings, bracelets), weaponry (lyre-shaped buckle, quadrangle buckle, chain loops, quivers, arrows, battle axe) and ceramics. All the elements of rites and funeral ritual (the graves' orientation and the arms' position, the anatomic position of the ceramic pots laid as offering, the lack of bird/egg offering, the animal offering and its position) allow us to place these graves in the first half of the 10th century. These graves can be linked with the first Magyar warriors that infiltrated the Alba Iulia area during the first decades of the 10th century. It is almost certain that these warriors were part of the military escort of duke Gyla/Gyula (probably the one that held the position of gyula), an important character of the Magyar staff from Pannonia that established himself in Transylvania and that identified with the autochthonous environment. Gyla rapidly became a dissident that founded a "voivodeship" in the area and reactivated the Christianity via a Byzantine influence. The idea that Hierotheus would have exercised his authority over the Magyars from Pannonia too is out of question, all the more since, particularly, the religious motif meant the beginning of Gyla's dissidence (sic!). Thus, "Gyla's voivodeship" or "Terra Gyla" represents the fourth independent political entity from the Romanian area (alongside those of Menumorut, Glad and Gelu) in which Roman, Slavic, Magyar and Byzantine elements co-exist.

8. Instalarea ordinelor mendicante în Transilvania, în secolul al XIII-lea.

HOPÂRTEAN, Corina
- Abstract
One of the most important events of the 13th century was the acknowledging and approval of reformatory religious orders, the Dominicans and the Franciscans, considered to have been the first of the so called mendicant orders. The paradigm proposed through their religious behavior and their spread within medieval urban communities enabled a direct relation with the people, with the believers and the non-believers. The field literature has given them various names, from friars, to beggars, to mendicants but most recently the latter seems to have been coined with more accuracy. The present paper focuses on their emergence in 13th century Transylvania, as part of the Hungarian realm and the novelty brought upon by their presence within towns, the places they received inside or outside the fortified urban settlements, and the reactions at the level of their contemporary society.

- Abstract
This paper approaches, continuing former investigations over the libri transylvanici fund from Batthyaneum Library, 237 books printed in Sibiu, in the XVIIIth century and the first decades of the XIXth century. They are the result of skill and editorial policy pursued by some typographers, out of whom the following remarked: Martin Hochmeister, Johannes Barth et al. Similarly as in the previous cases, author of the paper argues affiliation of books to certain domains of cultural and political interest: calendars (6 copies); catalogues (15 copies); dictionaries (9 copies); didactic books (25 copies), juridical printings (30 copies), History volumes (47 copies), oratory (13 copies), political works (41 copies), periodicals (7 copies), theology (38 copies) etc. At the same time, more lecture notes or bookplates, evidencing circulation of works before entering the fund of encyclopedic book from Vauban Citadel, are valorised as well as their owners. In fact, there were established some libraries or private collections and institutional ones (Ignatius Batthyani, Johannes Aemilius Buczi, Stephanus Fangh, Michael Fogarassy, Nicolaus Kováts, Antonius Martonfi, Rezidence of Jesu Society from Sibiu and Odorhei etc.).

HOPÂRTEAN, Corina
- Abstract
Starting with the 13th century, the mendicant orders began to intensify their activity. The preacher or dominican monks were among the first mendicants tospread towards eastern Europe, settling down in Transylvania as well. Shortly after, the brothers of St. Francis followed. By the next century the mendicant network encompassed also the brothers of St. Augustine's order, those of St. Paul the First Hermit. This paper aims to emphasize - by means of documents - their institutional importance, from both the perspective of the papal authority and the one of the Hungarian royalty, and their activity from the perspective of mendicant orders exercising their beliefs and misionary activism in Transylvania between the 13th-15th century.

- Abstract
The issue of the Greek-Catholic archpriest parish district and archpriests of Turda is a less tackled topic both in general as in the local historiography. The present paper has the purpose of bring new information and interpretations on this topic, as well as recovering a forgotten part of the confessional history of the town of Turda. The Greek-Catholic archpriest parish district of Turda is one of the oldest presbyterial units of the Romanian United Church. Its emergence coincides with unification moment of a part from the Transylvania's Romanian believers withe Rome. Thus, at the synod of 14th of September 1700, the archpriest Pascu from Turda was signing, together with the 28 priests subordinated to him, the documents that consented to the religious union with Rome. This way came into existence the Greek-Catholic archpriest parish district of Turda, which along history has been an important landmark in the evolution of the Romanian community from this region. The Greek-Catholic archpriests of Turda were remarkable personalities of the local community and beyond, bringing their valuable contribution to its development. The distinguished united clerics had a thorough specialized training acquired at the schools of Blaj. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper discusses the historiographical debates between the secular and the ecclesiastical canons regarding the entanglements between institutionalized traditional religion (mostly the Orthodox Church) and the process of national awakening in 19th century Transylvania. The emergence of a national conscience among the Romanians in Transylvania situated at the periphery of the Habsburg Empire (from 1866, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy) coincides with the stern efforts of Orthodox clergymen such as Metropolitan Andrei Șaguna to re-shape the institution of the Transylvanian Church according to the new political realities following the 1848-1849 Revolution.

- Abstract
In the current paper, we will present a repertoire of the coins issued during the 11th-13th centuries found both in churchyard cemeteries and in the stratigraphy of medieval churches. A general conclusion that emerges from the catalogue of the coin finds is that most medieval churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries were surrounded by a contemporary cemetery. the coins deposited in the graves around churches in Transylvania are only coins issued by Arpadian kings, with one exception, i.e. the cemetery from Feldioara, where Roman coins were found as Obolus in medieval funerary rituals; no other medieval coins were discovered in graves, for example: Byzantine coins, Friesach coins, etc. As a general characteristic of the churchyard cemeteries dating from the mid-11th century to the end of the 12th century we can notice the absence or reduced frequency of depositing coins as Obolus in graves; the case of the cemeteries where coins were deposited as Obolus during funerary ritual, the percentage of members who practiced such a ritual is very small; only four cemeteries slightly exceed the 10% of graves with coins deposited as Obolus (Feldioara, Cluj-Mănăştur, Geoagiu de Jos - Rotondă?, Drăuşeni 22.41%). A distinctive feature of Arpadian monetary deposits is the domination of anonymous denarii. Regarding the use of the coin deposited in the grave, we have identified at least three situations: coin deposited as Obolus, as an element of funerary ritual; coin as an adornment item in the inventory of the grave; coins deposited as monetary treasure. As regards the deposit of the coin as Obolus, we observed that in the Transylvanian area during the Arpadian times, the custom of depositing the coin in mouth or on mouth dominates; more rarely the coin was placed in hand; even more rare are the coins placed on the chest of the deceased. The custom of depositing coins as Obolus were in use in the churchyard cemeteries dated in the second half of the 11th century and the 12th century. For the 13th century, we have no grave with the custom of depositing coins as Obolus, and the coins dated in this period and discovered as inventory in graves are in a very low percentage comparing to the previous period. This phenomenon can be interpreted as an intensification of the control of the Catholic Church in compliance with the Christian principles regarding the burial ritual. We must note that some coins were cut and some fractured. It is possible that these marks have been applied or have occurred during the movement of the coins; but we should not overlook the possibility that some were prepared as such to be deposited in the grave, as a symbolic destruction of the object deposited. From the chronology point of view, so far, the oldest churchyard cemetery is the one from Cluj - Mănăştur where the oldest coins are issued by Andrew I (1046- 1060) and Ladislau I (1077-1095), being laid as Obolus in graves; other churchyard cemeteries where coins from Ladislau I were discovered are the cemetery from Dăbâca - castle area IV, Geoagiu de Jos and Moldovenești. We must emphasize that these cemeteries are located in the Western part of the Transylvanian Plateau (see map 2). The next set of coins are those issued by Coloman (1095-1116), being found also on the West side of Transylvania (Geoagiu de Jos, Moldovenești, Alba Iulia and likely Sighișoara - Dealul Viilor). The coins issued by Stephen II (1116-1131) and Bela II (1131-1141) discovered in graves of the churchyard cemeteries are mentioned in Alba Iulia, Cluj - Mănăştur, Chidea, Dăbâca - castle area IV, Dăbâca - Garden of Tămaș, Dăbâca - Boldâga, Moldovenești, Moreşti - Citfalău (?) and Streisângeorgiu (the cemetery is dated stratigraphically as starting in the second half of the 11th century around an 11th century wooden church, which was replaced by a stone church in 1130-1140). In the current state of research, we can assert that for the first half of the 12th century the spreading area of cemeteries surrounding churches was still limited to Western Transylvania. Only since the reign of Geza II we started witnessing a spread of Arpadian coins in the churchyard cemeteries in other parts of Transylvania. The chronological points specified represent enough evidence to interpret the phenomenon of cemeteries around churches, as a gradual propagation of the institution of the Catholic Church in Transylvania from west to east; the phenomenon starts in the second half of the 11th century when we talk about a spread on a smaller scale of the influence of the Catholic Church only in western Transylvania; about the expansion of the institution of the Catholic Church towards the eastern Transylvania we can talk only since the mid-twelfth century, a phenomenon that is gradually increasing during the 13th century. Also, there are several churches (Albeşti, Câlnic - fortress, Cisnădioara - St Michael Church, Prejmer, and Zlatna - basilica phase) which had another initial function different, than that of a parish church or a sacred space devoted to burials, which once again confirms the original role of these churches, that of nobility church.

- Abstract
The First World War, besides the chaos, the mess, the devastation and many other, also led to problems connected with to a refugees, the hospitalized people, prisoners of war, phenomenon that can only be understood through the differences between the different admission systems. Careful supervision, concentration, admission and civil deportation, that were thought by the decision makers as necessary in sustaining the war efforts, it became in the war years a usual practice. By far, the most illustrative case is the one of Austro-Hungarian monarchy where, even before the outburst, there were plans and regulations made in the exceptional, in the regions populated by diverse nationalities, authorities to be able to oversee, restrict, censorship their activity. Of course, in Transylvania, as a part of Hungaria, this policy was present, starting with 1907, when Antal Huszar, official in the political section of the govern in Budapest, published a book, specially for the govern members, under the name of Black Book, in which the author presents all „Daco-Romans”, priests and common people, that would be enrolled in the case of an war in the region. Starting from this, we will try in our paper to analyze from the point of view of cultural history, an incident almost unknown in the history of Transylvania (Transylvania, Banat, Crişana and Maramureş), that happened between 1916-1918. We are talking about the arrest, incarceration and deportation of the Romanian priests in west of Hungaria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The goal of the paper is to provide an inventory and an analysis of the coins discovered during the archaeological excavations on medieval churchyards situated in Transylvania. So, at this research stage, it stands out a differentiation between churchyards from the north central Transylvania and those from southern Transylvania, except Hateg Land. In the first case are present arpadian coins from the 11th century, in the second case the oldest coins are from Geza II. In our analysis, we observe that most of the coins are placed on the mouth in the 11th and the 12th centuries, rarely, the coins are putted in the hand. There are no concrete cases in which the coin is putted on the sternum. Another feature of those churchyards it is the dominance of the graves without inventory, also the rarity of the burials with coins. We observed that the anonymous denars dominate the monetary horizon in the 12th century. We should note the case of Geoagiu de Jos, where is a big number of coins issued by Coloman. The coin presence in graves as Obolus is more rarely beginning with the mid of the 13th century. The coins from the second part of the 13th century are almost missing. It is also noted that some coins from graves were cut or torn; it is possible that these coins have been prepared so to be part of the funeral ritual, which possible mean a symbolic destruction of the object.

The activity of the Romanian national councils, from Lower Alba county and the activity of the Romanian National Council of Blaj are extended and of great interest. Regarding the events that preceded the Great Union of 1918, historians have written extensively both general and particular works, addressing different viewpoints, studying this exceptional episode of our national history. Our approach is intended to be a short introduction of the tense atmosphere from the end of the year 1918 and an analysis of the activity of the Romanian National Council of Blaj. Such research topics were subjects for historians, as Marcel Ştirban and Viorica Lascu, especially with the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Great Union (1968). However, during the last half century this subject was abandoned. Gradually historians returned to this topic, mainly because we are approaching the 2018 moment (centenary of the Great Union). In this context we intend to bring our humble contribution to the existing knowledge of the activity of this organism, by reinterpreting the studies and the papers, published so far.

The most important Byzantine history papers from the 15th-16th centuries, which give information about Transylvania, belong to the chroniclers Doukas (15th century), Laonikos Chalkokondylas (15th century), Kritoboulos of Imbros (15th century), Georgios Sphrantzes (15th century) and Macarios Melissenos also known under the name of Pseudo-Phrantzes (16th century). The news passed by the Byzantine chroniclers regarding Transylvania are generally few but they cover quite varied fields. These register a series of toponyms as well as some information of geographical nature, regarding the administrative organization, the military organization, the internal political situation, the external relations or they are varied news.

The present research is focused on a document often left aside by the Romanian historiography - the 1887 memorandum project elaborated by Ioan Slavici. The paper can be considered a forerunner of the 1892 memorandum and represents the result of a deep compromise between the real political ideas of its author and the Romanian National Party's official agenda. Thus, shortly after its elaboration, Slavici resigned from the leadership of the national movement and never again made mention of the project's ideas. Alongside the description and analysis of the document's content, the conclusions of our article explore the possibility of alternative explanations for the strong pro-Habsburg position of the writer, presenting the opportunity of relating his political imaginary with some recurrent psychological behavior identified by one of his recent biographers.

François Hotman (1524-1590), a distinguished personality of the French Renaissance, has had multiple interests in the fields of law, history, literature or religious propaganda for the Reform. He wrote in the field of law and he contributed to the development of the study and teaching methods of Roman law. His preoccupations in this domain have proven to be full of daring. His master work will always be the history tractate Franco-Gallia, which has been a huge success at that time. He was also considered to be one of the most important renascentist political writers. He was appreciated and studied for his measureless erudition and his commentaries regarding the operas of the antiquity have been considered to be remarkably valuable (especially the ones about Cicero's discourses). The presence of the 15 exemplaries of his papers in the most important Transylvanian libraries proves the fact that Hotman's writings have been read, quoted, and collected by our intellectuals. Bringing them forward has been an honor for us. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
