Bishop Chesarie of Râmnic (ordained in 1774, died in 1780) is regarded as one of the most important cultural figures of 18th-century Romania, through his work in printing in Râmnic, where he oversaw the printing of the Minei and other liturgical books exclusively in Romanian, thereby making a decisive contribution to the replacement of Church Slavonic in the Orthodox Church of Wallachia.

Theatrum No. I (V) / 2018 The Martyrdom of the Brâncoveanu Saints Archdeacon Codruț-Dumitru Scurtu

This three-act play depicts the martyrdom of the Brâncoveanu Saints: Constantin Vodă, his four sons and his adviser Ianache Văcărescu, who were executed in Constantinople on 15 August 1714 on the orders of Sultan Ahmed.

Studia Humanitatis No. II (IV) / 2017 Anti-Mine Reflections in Eminescu’s Work (II) Associate Professor, PhD Ioan Lazăr

The study investigates whether Mihai Eminescu may have been familiar with Antim Ivireanul’s Didahii, tracing the history of the manuscript copies of this posthumous work and the poet’s relationship with documentary sources such as Aron Pumnul’s library, Timotei Cipariu’s Crestomația, and his collaboration with Moses Gaster. On the basis of linguistic and stylistic analogies identified in Eminescu’s poetic and journalistic texts, the author proposes that Eminescu may have read fragments of at least five of Antim’s Didachia from manuscript miscellanies, drawing on expressive passages in his own work.

Studia Humanitatis No. I (III) / 2017 Anti-Miene sentiments in Eminescu’s work? (I) Associate Professor, PhD Ioan Lazăr
