Abstract : Religious life in Teleorman County has only begun to be documented since the sixteenth century, although we have so far few documents, but since the seventeenth century, the number of documented priests has increased considerably. Numerous medieval documents confirm that in the village community, the priest did not only act as a supporter of the Orthodox faith, to alleviate the sufferings of the people, but to own lands he had bought or inherited from his parents. In terms of their social status, priests were considered free people, but there were also situations where the priest’s dependence on the boyar was a real fact. Most of the priests were scholars, as evidenced by the numerous documents written by them. The book teaching was done, firstly in the village churches by its parishioners, but not lastly in the monasteries and hermitages erected on the county territory.

Keywords : religious life, XVIth-XIXth century, Teleorman County (Romania), priest, church, owner, free people, literacy.

With the formation of the Wallachia medieval state there is no evidence to this effect (D. C. Giurescu, 1973, in the first decades of the fourteenth century, the p. 358). foundation of ecclesiastical structures with all state We have witnesses regarding the obligations of structures was laid as well. Thus, in 1359, during the priests only from the seventeenth century. As it appears time of Nicolae Alexandru, the first Metropolitan on January 14, 1630, voivode Leon Tom șa exempted the Church of Ungrovlahia was established, based in Arge ș, priests and deacons from the Royal Church in conducted by the metropolitan Iachint de Vicina (D. C. , so that ,, ca s ă fie de acum înainte casele lor Giurescu, 1973, pp. 355-357; N. Dobrescu, 1906, p. 35; și bucatele lor în pace și slobode de bir și de bou și de N. Constantinescu, 2002, p. 137-146), acquiring, “not oaie seac ă și de cal și de miiare și de cear ă și de galben only a church organization, but also a political- state și de cai de olacu și de vin ărici și de p ăhărnicie și de organization , both by the fact that it was recognized by schimbul banilor și de g ăleata cu fân și de undelemnul Byzantium and by the fact that the foundations of the și de dijm ă și de n ăem și de împrumutare și de toate ruler-metropolitan / state-church binomial were laid “ slujbele și mânc ăturile care sunt peste an în țara (Cl.

In this respect, there are very good testimonies documented priests has increased considerably such as that of May 25, 1613, of voivode Radu Mihnea, compared to the previous period (I.

Also during the time of Serban Voda, Metropolitan Valaam on May 25, 1716, Oan ă Răspopitul from Ad ăme şti had left the treasure of the metropolis for preservation, village, Teleorman County, gives a written document to more precisely, ,, un sipet cu 2000 tl. la popa Stan din the abbot Averchie from Cotroceni monastery, to whom satul Albe ști ”**** („a coffer with 2000 tl.to priest Stan they give, for his memory and that of his parents, 48 from the village of Albesti ”), and Grigorie Chancellor fathoms of land in Comanesti, Teleorman. From the Gr ădi șteanu had taken the money from this priest, Stan, document, we also find that the monastery still owned and spent it. Some of the money had been returned by lands in the village Com ăne ști, which had been given by his wife, and part of it by his son, Matei. But as he was “priest.

Stoicescu, 1988, p. 153, 209). than 25 priests, representatives of the clergy write acts, The essential condition of being a part of the clergy, which proves that they were connoisseurs of book whether they were priests, deacons or cantors, was to science****. In addition, some of them were probably know how to write and read (N. Stoicescu, p. 368; I. transmitting the teaching to others, as well. Thus, on Spiru, p. 82-83). From these, the children of the village February 25, 1671, a document appears through which learned the mystery of reading and writing ,, folosind priest Gheorghe sold to priest Teodosie, who preached pentru aceasta c ărțile bisericii și lada cu nisip ” („using at his monastery in Aninoasa from , his for this the books of the church and the sand box”) (I. land in the village of Pu țintei; he wrote ,, Mitrea, Spiru, p. 89). chilia șul p ărintelui Teodosie, cu zisa popii Gherghe din The book teaching was done, firstly, in the village Bucure ști ” („Mitrea, the Chilia ș of priest Theodosius, churches by its servants, but not lastly in the monasteries according to the agreement of priest Gherghe from and hermitages erected on the county territory. In this Bucharest”)****. On June 6, 1684, there comes the regard, it is worth mentioning the monasteries and document of priest Mih ăil ă from the village of Reapezi, churches of this period in which a rich religious activity Teleorman County, through which he sold to bishop took place, such as: the monastery from Dr ăgăne ști - Barbu Urd ăreanu, his share of the estate he had from the 1647, the monastery from Pl ăviceni - 1648, the church monk Iftimie, his grandfather; the document was written from - 1684, the monastery from Baldovine ști - by a certain Radu ,, cu înv ăță tura preotului Mih ăil ă” erected at the end of the seventeenth century and not („with the instructions of priest Mih ăil ă”)****. least the monastery from Dide ști - ca 1700 (St. V.

Probably, Radu Gramaticu from carry out the religious worship, despite being mentioned Mănice ști also learned in the monastery from Dr ăgăne ști in fewer documents, and appear as landowners or as or the hermitage of Comanca, and from him we have witnesses in signing the acts.
