LIBRÃRIA DIECEZANÃ DIN CARANSEBEŞ (18851918).RÃSPÂNDIREA CÃRŢII ROMÂNEŞTI ÎN BANAT.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the Caransebeş Diocese printing activity was popularized through the Diocesan Bookstore, one of the most important cultural institutions from the Romanian South-West territory. Beside the religious printings, through the Diocesan Bookstore numerous works were made available to people from Banat, being written by Romanian authors that lived beyond the Carpathians. This contributed to the formation of a national and religious consciousness among Banat‟s communities. Because of the major impact it had in sustaining the religious and cultural activities from the region, organizing and developing the Diocesan Bookstore was a permanent concern of the Caransebeş Consistory.
