  • On the Relationship Between Andrei Oþetea and N. Iorga Contextualizing Some Evocations from 1948
    On the Relationship between Andrei Oþetea and N. Iorga Contextualizing some Evocations from 1948 MARIAN-IONUÞ HARIUC N 24 January 1948, understaffed and under communist ideological pressure, the Nicolae Iorga Institute of World History in Bucharest resumed its activity Oin the wake of major changes. The new director, Andrei Oþetea, delivered a pre- sentation of the achievements of the past year (although he had been in office for only three months). The event became part of tradition, to be held on a yearly basis on St. Nicholas’ Day (6 December), reviving in fact a custom established following the assas- sination of N. Iorga in 1940. This had been impossible in 1947, given the repair work being done on the building of the institute, highly damaged by both the earthquake of 1940 and by World War II.1 But in 1948, as 24 January was the day of the union of the Romanian Principalities (1859), Oþetea, in one of the rare moments when he resorted to personal memories, argued, in his speech, largely devoted to the founder of the in- stitute, that Iorga would not have disliked this (temporary) change.2 He went on and added that Iorga had foreseen “the promise of a new force in the field of the specialty that he had raised so high and to which he had dedicated all the toil of his prolific life.”3 Our approach aims to analyze and explain Andrei Oþetea’s recollections of N. Iorga’s professional career. Deemed a fellow traveller (companion) of the communists and placed at the head of the institute immediately after the dismissal of Gheorghe I.

  • Josephe Ii Census of 1784-1787 in Zarand County
    JOSEPHE II CENSUS OF 1784-1787 IN ZARAND COUNTY Ionuţ-Cosmin CODREA The land of Zarand is a well-delimited geographic and ethnographic area, with a well-defined historical identity, lying between the western, mountainous parts of the old Zarand County and the eastern plains. The western part of the Apuseni Mountains rises as a row of mountainous massifs, isolated by broad alluvial depressions, which look like bays on a map and are actually intermountain plains. Through these tectonic depressions is made the link between the valleys of the Black Criş and the Mureş, the so-called Deva - Beiuş depression corridor.1 This region stretches along the White Criş, marked in the north by the Codru Moma Mountains and by the mountains of Bihor and Zarand, while to the south by the Metaliferi Mountains. Geographers recognise, generally, the unitary character of this Zarand “County,” although between Gurahonţ and Leasa the continuity is recognised only in the White Criş Valley. In the east, the intermountain valley (also called the Brad Basin) continues until Săcărâmb, in a region that generically belongs to the Metaliferi Mountains, while downstream it continues until Gurahonţ.2 In the 18th century, administratively speaking, the Land of Zarand had reached the end of a long journey and had turned from a part of the old County of Zarand (constituted around the eponymous fortress in the 12th and 13th centuries) into a county in its own right, through the “Karolin Resolution” of 31 December 1732, issued by Emperor Charles VI.3 The decision to carry out the Joseph II Census of 1784-1787 is part of a set of administrative measures implemented by the monarch “Aufklärer” Joseph II, which he wanted to be a more vigorous continuation of the reforms started by Maria Theresa.

  • The Models for Castle Dracula in Stoker's Sources on Transylvania
    The Models for Castle Dracula in Stoker’s Sources on Transylvania Marius Crişan [Dr. Marius Mircea Crişan is a senior lecturer at The West University of Timişoara, Romania. He obtained his PhD from The University of Turin, Italy, with a thesis on Stoker’s sources on Transylvania. He has published on reception theories and imagology.] “Built on the corner of a great rock, … it was quite impregnable.” (Dracula 49) Much has been written on Stoker’s possible models for Castle Dracula. Some point to castles in Great Britain visited by Stoker; others to historical fortresses in Romania associated with the Wallachian prince, Vlad the Impaler.1 But scant attention has been paid to the descriptions of castles provided in four specific texts that we know Stoker consulted while working on his novel: Charles Boner, Transylvania: Its Products and its People (1865); Major E.C. Johnson, On the Track of the Crescent (1885); Nina Elizabeth Mazuchelli, Magyarland (1881); and Andrew F. Crosse, Round About the Carpathians (1878).2 The most significant of these potential influences is Terzburg (mentioned in Boner, Mazuchelli and Crosse). This is the famous castle of Bran, originally named after Törzburg, the German name of the village of Bran. This castle has been often associated with the myth of Dracula and has even “won” the name of Dracula’s Castle. For example, almost every Romanian tourist brochure refers to it as such. But is there any connection between the fortress of Bran and the castle of Stoker’s vampire? While it is true that, as Elizabeth Miller suggests, the connections have been vastly exaggerated,3 Bran Castle might very well have influenced Stoker.

În martie viitor vor fi 100 de ani de la naşterea lui. Activitatea lui Titulescu, aşa de cunoscută în lumea politică şi diplomatică între cele două războaie mondiale, face acum, mai ales în Occident, obiectul unor cercetări active. Au apărut o seamă de teze de universitate, în Europa ca şi în Statele Unite ale Americii. În România, de asemenea, cercetări şi publicaţii au reîmprospătat memoria celor în vârstă şi alimentat dorinţa celorlalţi de a cunoaşte cât mai îndeaproape viaţa şi opera acestui mare român care a fost Nicolae Titulescu. Dumneavoastră, domnule Anastasiu, aţi avut privilegiul de a-l fi cunoscut îndeaproape. Aţi fost nu numai şef de cabinet la Ministerul Afacerilor Străine, dar aţi lucrat cu Titulescu şi după ce nu a mai fost în guvern. Eraţi cel mai tânăr din echipa lui de colaboratori imediaţi. Vă rugăm să ne povestiţi, azi, în cadrul acestei emisiuni, date şi fapte din viaţa şi activitatea lui Titulescu, la începutul carierei şi la sfârşitul vieţii, adică două perioade asupra cărora lipsesc încă scrisori şi amintiri autorizate. Când Titulescu s-a înapoiat în ţară, după ce a obţinut la Paris titlul de doctor în drept, el era deja un tânăr român foarte cunoscut în lumea universitară pariziană.

  • Historical and Ecclesiastical Realities in the Southwest of Transylvania During the Principality (1541-1688)
    TEOLOGIA 1 / 2020 TEO, ISSN 2247-4382 82 (1), pp. 102-118, 2020 Historical and Ecclesiastical Realities in the Southwest of Transylvania during the Principality (1541-1688) Florin DOBREI Florin DOBREI “Hilarion V. Felea” Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Arad, Romania E-mail: fl [email protected] Abstract Inaugurated in 1541, the period of Principality represented a period of profound political, social, economical, cultural and religious changes. The Church, an omnipresent institution in the medieval life, went through major transformations, their effects being felt nowadays. In general, the confessional dialogue of the Orthodoxy with the Reformation was not too friendly. The Calvinist proselytism had two distinct periods. If in the 16th century Romanians were attracted to the Protestantism by their unifi cation in a Calvinist bishopric, in the following century the main target of the protestants in Transylvania was the obligation for every bishop to accept Calvinist conditions. An integrant part of the space between the Carpathians, the territory of the present county of Hunedoara faced the same historical suffering; this study wants to present some aspects of the Romanians’ past from these lands.
