The educational and the scientific institutions were either destroyed or segregated; competence was replaced with devotion towards the regime. Its agenda was to create a “new man”, on the model of homo sovieticus. How did this institution’s structuring affect the former History Institute of Cluj, and what were the ‘actors’ involved in the implementation of the soviet model?

In a brief article of 1993, Lucian Boia outlined the destinies of some Western models which had come in contact with the Romanian culture; a Belgian model, seen as an appendage of the French, an English one, which in his opinion was completely marginal, and others that enjoyed a more or less brilliant fate (German, Italian, etc.) 1. Please note that each of the topics mentioned above enjoyed special attention in Romanian historiography; see for instance the studies authored by Aurel Filimon, Gheorghe Platon and even my own, dedicated to the Romanian- Belgian relations; those by Dan Berindei, Pompiliu Eliade, Nicolae Iorga and Nicolae Isar for the French case; those by Zigu Ornea regarding the German influences on the political and literary thought of the Junimea group; those by Eugen Denize and George L ăzărescu, on the cultural and political interferences between Italy and Romania, etc.

Pagini scrise de oameni de azi şi de ieri, de oameni care sunt şi care au fost, de oameni care iubesc şi au iubit pământul şi ţara, prezentul şi trecutul, numele şi renumele de români. Oameni. Muncitori sau intelectuali, elevi sau ţărani, studenţi sau militari. Oameni care au văzut cu ochii minţii pagini de istorie şi s-au emoţionat între zidurile masive ale castelului Corvineştilor, în casa modestă în care s-a născut Aurel Vlaicu, în Magna Curia ...:. astăzi sediul muzeului - la cetăţile dacice din Munţii Orăştiei, la monumentele de la Ţebea. Oameni care au avut ceva de spus. Răsfoim cu pioşenie aceste pagini. Descifrăm scrisuri şi gânduri. Gânduri pentru cei care au fost, pentru cei care sunt, pentru cei care vor fi. Gânduri pentru trecutul plin de zbucium şi de glorie al unui popor viteaz care a ştiut să-şi apere ţara şi fiinţa de toate vicisitudinile istoriei. Gânduri pentru cei care se apleacă cu migală şi dragoste asupra trecutului, îi descifrează tainele, îi pătrund semnificaţiile, îi păstrează vestigiile cu sfinţenie şi le vor transmite urmaşilor. Gânduri pentru muzee şi pentru slujitorii lor. La baza lucrării au stat două volume din Cartea de aur (caietul de impresii) a muzeului. Primul, însumând 219 pagini se întinde pe perioada 1920- 1 1935 şi se păstrază în biblioteca muzeului • Cel de-al doilea începe cu anul 1955 şi este încă în uz.

    IV. PERSONALITĂŢI BUCUREŞTENE REFERINTE DOCUMENTARE LA SCULPTORUL' CONSTANTIN BĂLĂCESCU* Virgiliu Z. Teodorescu Elisabeta Teodorescu „România întregită e datoare să cultive, în chip cuvenit şi demn, amintirea fiilor mari şi aleşi, cari prin muncă şi jertfă, prin simţirea şi entuziasmul lor, au contribuit mai mult şi cu folos la realizarea aceea a idealului ce i-au călăuzit în viaţă şi pe care l-au propovăduii cu credinţa nestrămutată că va să fie ajuns urmarea cea mai firească a tot ceea ce ei însuşi au săvârşit pentru binele şi prosperitatea patrie şi neamului". Alexandru Lapedatu 1 La sfărşitul secolului XIX - începutul secolului XX s-a impus atenţiei contempo­ ranilor creaţia artistică a lui Constantin Bălăcescu. A fost o perioadă de două decenii de creaţie intensă, care prin calităţile artistice şi tehnice l-au adus în for public, instituţii, interioare de locuinţe, cimitire etc. Trecerea deceniilor a marcat o nejustificată tăcere, neexistând preocuparea metodică de a aduna informaţiile pentru a putea defini locul ce i se cuvine lui Constantin Bălăcescu în istoria sculpturii româneşti. Curios, deşi a avut ca urmaşi pe cei care i-au fost studenţi în cadrul şcolii de Beie Arte, atât la Iaşi, cât şi la Bucureşti, aceştia n-au manifestat grija de a-i acorda printr-o lucrare monografică cinstirea cuvenită. Această situaţie, până la un punct, se poate justifica prin gravitatea • Prezenta comunicare se bazează predilect pc informaţiile din dosarul constituit de Constantin Bălăccscu şi finalizat de Eufrosina, soţia artistului. Peste ani aceasta l-a donat lui Alexandru Saint Georges care l-a integrat în colecţiile muzeului său.

  • Can Orthodox Biblical Theology Be Autonomous? the Case of the Bible from 1914
    Can Orthodox Biblical Theology be Autonomous? The Case of the Bible from 1914 CONSTANTIN OANCEA* The current trend among Orthodox theologians is to identify a fitting profile for biblical theology. The ecclesial and pneumatological dimension of biblical interpretation and the recovery of the patristic spirit of exegesis are the main principles invoked. Should Orthodox biblical theology develop autonomously, ignoring western biblical theology? The case of the Bible from 1914 analysed in this study shows that Orthodox biblical theology should develop taking into account heterodox biblical theology and making reference to its results. Keywords: Orthodox biblical theology, Bible from 1914, Blaj Bible, Bucharest Bible That Orthodox theology experienced a new approach in the 20th cen- tury is no longer a novelty to anyone. The same holds true for the finding that influences for such an adjustment have come from the outside, as a result of reform movements in Roman Catholic theology. Orthodox biblical theolo- gy confronted the influences for a “new hermeneutic” positively, namely as concern for its Orthodox character in relation to Western biblical science. In an attempt to define their own identity, Orthodox theologians have made contributions that are worthy of consideration and outlined some specific fea- tures of the Orthodox interpretation of the Scripture. Of these, the ecclesial and pneumatological dimension of biblical reading and the recovery of the patristic spirit of exegesis seem to be the most important1. * Revd.
