Stolen Wealth, Perpetrators and Punishments in Moldavia (17Th Century – Early 18Th Century) BALCANICA POSNANIENSIA XXVI Poznań 2019 STOLEN WEALTH, PERPETRATORS AND PUNISHMENTS IN MOLDAVIA (17TH CENTURY – EARLY 18TH CENTURY) Că t ă l i n a Ch e l C u Abstract. For the historical period we refer to, no proper inventories have been made containing the unjustly ap- propriated goods. They are just mentioned as such or listed, if that was the case, according to the size of the dam- age. There are also documentary sources in which the object of the theft is less represented, the justice system focusing in those cases rather on the wrongdoers, than on the wrong actions. That is why, the blood money “paid for some reason”, with no other specific details, is quite frequently cited. Rare or frequent, these documents are complaints addressed by the victim to the Prince and his officials, documents in which the perpetrators admitted their fault, or deeds issued by the judicial authority subsequent to the investigation of the criminal act. In discuss- ing the theft of/from the wealth, i.e. from the whole amount of the available goods, we are interested in clarifying some aspects pertaining to a reality that the historian should reconstruct, with all the complexity of its evolution: the motivations of the theft and its circumstances, the types of theft, the social categories involved, the time and space of the misdemeanour, the perpetrators’ punishment. Briefly, the study is about starting to write a history of the reprehensible acts liable to punishments for theft and robbery in 17th and early 18th century Moldavia. STRESZCZENIE. Rabunek majątku, przestępcy i kary w Mołdawii (XVII w. – wczesny wiek XVIII). Dla omawianego przez nas wieku nie tworzono żadnych właściwych wykazów bezprawnie przywłaszczonych dóbr. W niektórych przypadkach są one jedynie wspomniane lub wylistowane według rozmiaru szkody. Istnieją też źródła dokumentalne, które obiektom kradzieży poświęcają mniej uwagi, a system sprawiedliwości skupia się w tych przypadkach raczej na przestępcach i ich czynach. Dlatego też często przywołuje się tzw. okup krwi „płacony w określonym celu” i nie podaje się szczegółów spraw. Dokumenty te są zażaleniami adresowany- mi przez ofiarę do księcia lub jego urzędników, są też pisane przez przestępców przyznających się do winy, lub też są to dokumenty wystawione przez władze sądownicze i poprzedzają one dochodzenie w sprawie kryminal- nej. Rozważając kradzież części mienia tj. z całości dostępnych dóbr, naszym celem jest wyjaśnienie pewnych aspektów odnoszących się do rzeczywistości, którą historyk powinien zrekonstruować wraz z całą złożonością zmian tej rzeczywistości: motywami kradzieży i jej okolicznościami, typami kradzieży, związanymi z nią katego- riami społecznymi, czasem i przestrzenią występku, karą dla sprawcy. Rekapitulując, przedstawione w artykule badanie ogniskuje się na początkach tworzenia pisemnej historii dotyczącej nagannych aktów podlegających karze za kradzież i rozbój w XVII i w początkach XVIII wieku w Mołdawii.

Briefly, the study is about starting to write a history of the reprehensible acts liable to punishments for theft and robbery in 17th and early 18th century Moldavia. Based on large historical “investigations”, the papers published in the western his- toriographic area, especially the French one, put forward new readings of different as- pects of criminal reality, in different areas and periods. Among them, our attention was particularly drawn by: the exposure of the deepest resources of medieval and modern violence and the disclosure of its identity-related dimension, the approach of the theft issue, an everyday life-rooted crime1, and of robbery, or as Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie put it, of the “crime against things”2, and how the imposition of specific methods of violence repression were justified3. 1 Valérie Toureille, Vol et brigandage au Moyen Âge, Paris, Presses Universitaires de France, 2006, p. 1. 2 Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Montaillou, sat occitan de la 1294 până la 1324, vol.

What we have is a look upon vi- olence in general, and upon the levers of its domination power south and east the Carpathians4. Highlighting some aspects regarding the significance of the phenomenon of social discipline, the issue of the ‘haiduci’ [outlaws, brigands] from Transylvania, Bihor and Moldavia, situations and perceptions of the soldier at the beginning of the modern period in Transylvania and Bihor areas5 represent important steps towards a history of the acts to be labelled as theft, with or without violence, which, together with other actions, in a given historical context, caused the inhabitants a feeling of in- security6. The ‘righteous’ felt menaced by the “wrongdoers in the village, thieves or robbers”. The latter’s acts and the outcomes of their acts will make the object of our preliminary approach in the following lines. COMMON THIEF OR THEFT The thieves, who were peasants, freemen or serfs7, Gypsies or servants8, fore- igners9, Turks or Tartars who were committing thefts especially in the border areas10, Claude Gauvard, Pauline Schmitt Pantel et Myriam Tsikounas (dir.), Figures de femmes criminelles de l’Antiquité à nos jours, Paris, Publications de la Sorbonne, 2010; Benoît Garnot, La violence dans la France moderne: une violence apprivoisée?, dans Mélanges offerts au professeur Maurice Gresset.

  • Silks and Stones: Fountains, Painted Kaftans, and Ottomans in Early Modern Moldavia and Wallachia*
    SILKS AND STONES: FOUNTAINS, PAINTED KAFTANS, AND OTTOMANS IN EARLY MODERN MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA* MICHAŁ WASIUCIONEK** Buildings are arguably the last thing that comes to our mind when we talk about circulation of luxury goods and diffusion of consumption practices. Their sheer size and mass explain their tendency to remain in one place throughout their existence and bestow upon them an aura of immutability. This “spatial fix” of the built environment, both in terms of individual buildings and architectural landscapes, means that while they may change hand, they are unable to move across space. This immobility is by no means absolute, as shown by the well-known relocation of the Pergamon altar from western Anatolia to the Museum Island in Berlin, or shorter distances covered by dozens of churches in Bucharest, displaced from their original sites during the urban reconstruction of the 1980s. However, these instances do not change the fact that while both buildings and smaller luxury items constitute vehicles conveying their owners’ wealth and social status, they seemingly belong to two different realms, with little overlap between them. However, as scholarship produced in recent decades has shown, approaching these two spheres of human activity as a dynamic and interactive whole can produce valuable insights into how architecture and luxury commodities construed and expressed social and political identity. As Alina Payne pointed out, buildings and whole sites could become portable and travel by proxy, in the form of drawings, descriptions, and fragments of buildings.1 At the same time, the architectural environment provides the spatial frame for the social and cultural life of humans and objects alike: the spatial distribution of luxury items within the household allows us to reconstruct the topography of conspicuous display and everyday * This study was supported by the ERC-2014-CoG no.

  • Some Narrative Accounts Regarding the Military Use of Archery in 17 Century Moldavia
    July 2013 History SOME NARRATIVE ACCOUNTS REGARDING THE MILITARY USE OF ARCHERY IN 17TH CENTURY MOLDAVIA Marius - Vasile VRÂNCIANU1 ABSTRACT: THE MOLDAVIAN ARMIES OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SAW A CONTINUITY IN THE MILITARY USE OF ARCHERY, UNLIKE MOST OF THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT, WHERE MODERN FIREARMS QUICKLY REPLACED THE OLD TACTICS AND WEAPONRY. DIFFERENT SOURCES REPORT THAT FOOT OR MOUNTED ARCHERS WERE DEPLOYED AS AUXILIARY TROOPS ON THE BATTLEFIELD IN MOST OCCASIONS AND USED IN PARRALEL WITH ELITE SOLDIERS WIELDING GUNPOWDER WEAPONS. PRACTICALLY APPLIED AS LATE AS THE EARLY EITEENTH CENTURY, ARCHERY KNEW A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN MOLDAVIA ONLY ALONG WITH THE CRITICAL MILITARY REGRESSION DURING THE SO-CALLED “PHANARIOTE RULE”, HAVING BEEN COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED PROBABLY BY THE MID-1700’S. KEY WORDS: MOLDAVIA, SEVENTEENTH CENTURY, ARCHERY, MILITARY HISTORY. INTRODUCTION In his monographic work, Descriptio Moldaviae (“The Description of Moldavia”), written in 1714, the former Prince of Moldavia Dimitrie Cantemir alleged that “the Moldavians are very good archers, as well as spear bearers; but their greatest victories were won by the sword. Only hunters use rifles, for Moldavians consider it a shameful thing to use firearms against their enemies whom they wouldn’t be able to reach either by military art or bravery2”. As it may easily be observed, a long-lasting military tradition such as archery was still common and in customary use in Moldavia at the mere beginning of the 18th century. 1 Undergraduate/BA student, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iaşi, Romania, Faculty of History, e-mail: [email protected]. 2 Dimitrie Cantemir, Descrierea Moldovei, ed.

  • The Reign, Culture and Legacy of Ştefan Cel Mare, Voivode of Moldova: a Case Study of Ethnosymbolism in the Romanian Societies
    The reign, culture and legacy of Ştefan cel Mare, voivode of Moldova: a case study of ethnosymbolism in the Romanian societies Jonathan Eagles Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Institute of Archaeology University College London 2011 Volume 1 ABSTRACT The reign, culture and legacy of Ştefan cel Mare, voivode of Moldova: a case study of ethnosymbolism in the Romanian societies This thesis seeks to explain the nature and strength of the latter-day status of Ştefan cel Mare in the republics of Romania and Moldova, and the history of his legacy. The regime and posthumous career of Ştefan cel Mare is examined through studies of history, politics and archaeology, set within the conceptual approach to nationalism that is known as “ethnosymbolism”. At the heart of this thesis lie the questions why does Ştefan cel Mare play a key role as a national symbol and how does this work in practice? These questions are addressed within an ethnosymbolist framework, which allows for the ethnosymbolist approach itself to be subjected to a critical study. There is a lacuna in many ethnosymbolist works, a space for a more detailed consideration of the place of archaeology in the development of nationalism. This thesis contends that the results of archaeological research can be included in a rounded ethnosymbolist study. First, the history of archaeological sites and monuments may contribute to understanding the way in which historically attested cultural symbols are adopted by communities over time. Secondly, if studied carefully, archaeological evidence may have the potential to trace the evolution of identity characteristics, in line with ethnosymbolism’s attempt to account for the formation of national identity in the pre- modern era.

    „ALEXANDRU IOAN CUZA” UNIVERSITY OF IAŞI FACULTY OF HISTORY HABILITATION THESIS Romanian history in the Mount Athos Archives: Monasteries, Monks, Pilgrimages PETRONEL ZAHARIUC IAŞI, 2020 Abstract The relationships between the Romanian Principalities and the entire Orthodox area represented a fundamental framework of the Romanians’ history, showing the Romanians’ place and role in Europe’s and the world’s history. For five centuries (14th-19th), Moldavia and Walachia represented the main cultural and material backing for the Christian peoples in the Balkan Peninsula and the Near East. Also, the Princes, boyars and the Church hierarchs supported from a material and spiritual viewpoint the Romanian Orthodox Church in Transylvania, as well as the Orthodox in South Poland and in Ukraine. The opening of the archives in the monasteries of Mount Athos, starting with the ‘90s of the 20th century, offers great opportunities for a real and complete acquaintanceship of the relationships between the Romanian Principalities and this authentic centre of the Orthodoxy. I am persuaded that through my research and through the studies of other colleagues in the country and abroad, based on the very use of the documentary material in these archives, we shall offer full substance to Porfirie Uspenski’s statement: none of the orthodox peoples did so much for the good of Mount Athos as the Romanians. Therefore, if the Romanians inherited from the Byzantine the patronage over Mount Athos, they naturally became the main support for the other Holy Places, especially for the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Orthodox peoples south the Danube too (Serbs, Bulgarians, Greeks), in the half millennium during which these ones were under Ottoman dominance.

    STATE AND CHURCH IN THE ORGANIZATION OF MOLDAVIAN COUNTRY UNTIL THE END OF 18TH CENTURY Ioan Scripcariuc „Stefan cel Mare” University, Suceava [email protected] Rezumat: Biserica ortodoxă cu structurile sale teritoriale, Mitropolia şi episcopiile, a jucat un rol deosebit în organizarea administrativă a statului medieval moldovenesc. Este cunoscută întreaga dispută legată de recunoaşterea Mitropoliei Moldovei de către Patriarhia Ecumenică a Constantinopolului. De asemenea este deosebit de importantă situaţia Episcopiei de la Rădăuţi, contemporană în mod evident cu întemeierea ţării. S-a impus astfel şi un model creştin în administraţie, părăsit însă mai ales de la sfârşitul secolului al XVI-lea, când întreg statul se aşează pe alte baze decât cele originare. Abstract: In the administrative organization of medieval Moldavian state, the Orthodox Church and its territorial structures, Metropolitan and Episcopates, played an important role. It’s known throughout the dispute over the recognition the Metropolitan Church of Moldavia by Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. It is also very important situation of the Episcopate of Rădăuţi, obviously contemporary with the founding of the country. Has established itself a Christian model of administration, but mainly left at the end of the sixteenth century when the entire state is placed on bases other than those originating. Résumé: En l'organisation administrative de l'Etat moldave médiévale un rôle important a joué Eglise orthodoxe et ses structures territoriales, le métropolite et les évêques. Est connu dans le différend sur la reconnaissance métropolitaine moldave par le Patriarcat œcuménique de Constantinople. Il est également très important la situation d’Épiscopat Rădăuţi, évidemment contemporaine de la fondation du pays.
