Gidni 233 People and Places in the History Of
Section – History and Cultural Mentalities GIDNI PEOPLE AND PLACES IN THE HISTORY OF TÂRGOVIŞTE Cristina Furtună, Assist., PhD Candidate, ”Valahia” University of Târgoviște Abstract: In history, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political center but also a cultural one, particularly important for the Romanian culture. In Târgovişte, the topic of time returns obstinately (Prehistoric Time, Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance Time, Modern Time), understood according to the definition given to it by St. Augustine – mobile image of eternity. Antiquity represented time symbolically as a circle, with 12 astrological signs on it and whose center symbolized the eternity of being. Similarly, Târgovişte is an eternal city of the Oriental Roman world. The symbolical passage from temporal to spatial involves the material evidence, seen as an adversary of extinction in the being’s fight for eternity, concept that permanently joined the terrestrial representation of the existence, so present in the area of Târgovişte. Keywords: Târgovişte, book, writers, places, history, culture, time Introduction In time, Târgovişte has been an economic, administrative, political but also cultural centre, particularly important for the Romanian culture. It was first attested by the documents at the end of the 14th century and culturally thrived at the beginning of the 15th century. Different writing and communication experts appear (grămătici, pisari, dieci but also logofeţi and princely emissaries/ soli domneşti), assuring the commercial and diplomatic connection with the neighboring countries. Târgovişte was also a princely residence and has preserved the marks of its cultural institutions. It is in Târgovişte that the first Romanian grammar appeared and it is also here that erudite scholars such as Macarie, Udrişte Năsturel, senechal Constantin Cantacuzino and voivodes who set up cultural institutions (such as Radu cel Mare, Neagoe Basarab, Mihai Viteazul, Matei Basarab) carried out their activity. -

Bram Stoker's Vampire Trap : Vlad the Impaler and His Nameless Double
BRAM STOKER’S VAMPIRE TRAP VLAD THE IMPALER AND HIS NAMELEss DOUBLE BY HANS CORNEEL DE ROOS, MA MUNICH EMAIL: [email protected] HOMEPAGE: WWW.HANSDEROOS.COM PUBLISHED BY LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY ELECTRONIC PREss S-581 83 LINKÖPING, SWEDEN IN THE SERIES: LINKÖPING ELECTRONIC ARTICLES IN COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE SERIES EDITOR: PROF. ERIK SANDEWALL AbsTRACT Since Bacil Kirtley in 1958 proposed that Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula, the best known literary character ever, shared his historical past with the Wallachian Voivode Vlad III Dracula, an intense debate about this connection has developed and other candidates have been suggested, like the Hungarian General János Hunyadi – a proposal resurfacing in the most recent annotated Dracula edition by Leslie Klinger (2008). By close-reading Stoker’s sources, his research notes and the novel, I will demonstrate that Stoker’s narrative initially links his Count to the person of Vlad III indeed, not Hunyadi, although the novelist neither knew the ruler’s first name, nor his father’s name, nor his epithet “the Impaler”, nor the cruelties attributed to him. Still – or maybe for this very reason – Stoker did not wish to uphold this traceable identity: In Chapter 25, shortly before the decisive chase, he removes this link again, by way of silent substitution, cloaked by Professor van Helsing’s clownish distractions. Like the Vampire Lord Ruthven, disappearing through the “vampire trap” constructed by James R. Planché for his play The Brides of the Isles in the English Opera House, later renamed to Lyceum Theatre and run by Stoker, the historical Voivode Vlad III Dracula is suddenly removed from the stage: In the final chapters, the Vampire Hunters pursue a nameless double. -
The Greek “Proto-Question” and the Birth of Modern Citizenship
Chapter 1 The Greek “Proto-Question” and the Birth of Modern Citizenship 1 Natives and Foreigners under the Old Regime In 1611 a group of Wallachian boyars, led by the mare stolnic (High Steward) Bărcan of Merișani, plotted the assassination of the ruling Prince Radu Mihnea (r. 1611–1616). The attack was intended as retaliation for the fact that Radu Mihnea “surrounded them with numerous Greeks from Istanbul and Rumeli,” as a local chronicler reported.1 The plot was soon discovered by the Prince, who decapitated Bărcan along with eight other great boyars. This dramatic episode—the first instance in the Principalities’ history when “blood was spilled because of the Greeks,” as the historian A. D. Xenopol put it—marked the outbreak of what, in retrospect, Romantic historiography would term the “Greek Question” in Moldavia and Wallachia.2 Over the next two centuries (1611–1821), this “question” unfolded as a succession of violent anti-Greek plots, uprisings and legal campaigns by the local nobility and merchants against the unchecked political penetration and dominance of Ottoman Greeks. After the initial 1611 plot, a second major anti-Greek uprising took place during the reign of Alexandru Iliaș (r. 1616–1618); a third under Alexandru Coconul (r. 1623–1627); a fourth under Leon Tomșa (r. 1629–1632); a fifth under Matei Basarab (r. 1632–1654); a sixth under Radu Leon (r. 1664–1669); a seventh under Nicolae Mavrocordat (r. 1716–1717); and, finally, an eighth under Ioan Gheorghe Caragea (r. 1812–1818). This last uprising culminated with the 1821 failed coop- eration and eventual conflict between Tudor Vladimirescu and the Greek un- derground organization Philiki Hetaireia (Society of Friends), leading to the end of Phanariot rule. -

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. -
PRIMELE SCRISORI T~XPEDIATE DIN BUCUREŞTI, ÎN AFARA SPAŢIULUI ROMÂNESC
PRIMELE SCRISORI t~XPEDIATE DIN BUCUREŞTI, ÎN AFARA SPAŢIULUI ROMÂNESC Gabriel Ciotoran Iubitorii de istorie sunt familiarizaţi cu scrisori din secolele XIX şi XX expediate din oraşul Bucureşti sau primite de diversele personalităţi ale acestuia. Acest articol aduce la cunoştinţa publicului larg patru scrisori trimise din oraşul acesta in secolul XVI, mai exact în ultimul sfert al acestuia. Lectura lor, destul de dificilă de altfel, !'sie un bun prilej de a constata ce era în mintea unor oameni din acele timpuri, ce probleme ~i obiceiuri aveau, mai ales că ei se aflau la cârma Ţării Româneşti, fiind printre puţinii care ~tiau să scrie! Scrisul lor era destul de agramat de altfel, după cum se constată. "În acele vremuri fără ziare, fără poştă, telegraf, relaţiile se 1 întreţineau prin viu grai ~i prin scrisori duse prin codrii şi paşunile munţilor sau peste mări şi ţări, de oameni de 1ncredere (mesageri) care aduceau şi răspunsurile. Foarte puţini oameni ştiau să scrie, acesta liind apanajul domnitorului şi a celor care îl înconjurau. Scrisorile erau în general scrise în limba slavonă, limba cancelariilor europene din Evul Mediu, sau în greacă cum este şi cazul celor 3 scrisori pe care le voi reda în întregime mai jos expediate de Ecaterina, mama lui Mihnea Turcitul (1577-1583;1585-1591) surorii sale Marioara care se afla la Veneţia şi în limba italiană în care este scrisă scrisoarea expediată de Pascal, un nepot al Ecaterinei, aceleiaşi Marioare, mama lui. Dacă primele scrisori expediate de Vlad Ţepeş şi Radu cel Frumos, în a doua jumătate a secolului al XV-iea fuseseră la Braşov, sau următoarele pe parcursul unui secol la Sibiu deci în cuprinsul spaţiului românesc, acestea au fost expediate în afara acestuia! Au urmat scrisori trimise de domni români, dogelui din Veneţia2 . -

The Real Estate of the Moldavian Boyar Dumitru Buhuş
Anişoara IONAŞCU∗ THE REAL ESTATE OF THE MOLDAVIAN BOYAR DUMITRU BUHUŞ Abstract: This study presents the role played by the boyar Dumitru Buhuş in the political life of Moldavia during the first half of the 17th century, as a result of the important positions he held within the princely council (cubicularius, logothete, treasurer, great treasurer, pârcălab/castellanus of Hotin and Neamţ, great spatharios) and his nobiliary estates gathered throughout his life, representing his wealth and power. The study underlines, on the basis of chancery documents, his lands, the way they were acquired, the counties where his domains were scattered. It also identifies the boyar’s real estates, as well as the courts he built. Keywords: Moldavia, Dumitru Buhuş, Real Estate, Romanian Nobility, 17th century. * This paper aims to succinctly analyse the role that the boyar Dumitru Buhuş played in the political life of Moldavia during the first half of the 17th century, when he held major public dignities – cubicularius, logothete, treasurer, great treasurer, castellanus of Hotin and Neamţ, great spatharios1 –, and was, thus, member in the princely council. In the same time, the presentation follows the implications that these high political–administrative offices had at a material, patrimonial level, regarding the fortune he gathered, which served as the foundation of his high social status. The paper reconstructs, on the basis of chancery documents, the configuration and consolidation of Dumitru Buhuş’ real estate, with emphasis on main acquisition methods, the localisation of his estates, data on other real estates and the courts he possessed. ∗ Ph.D. Candidate, History Department, The Lower Danube University of Galaţi (Romania); the research was conducted within the project POSDRU 88/1.5/S: “Improving the activity of the Ph.D.
