Cărţile tipărite de negustorii braşoveni, fraţii Constantin şi Ioan Boghici
Books Printed by Constantin and Ioan Boghici, Merchant Brothers from Braşov

Summary/Abstract: Between 1805-1816, Boghici brothers have edited close to 21 Romanian books, both on religious and educational purpose. Their activity was based on an agreement, according to which, the Romanian section of the typography was rented to Johann Georg Edler von Schobeln from Braşov, a German senator; but Boghici brothers have also made some financial investments in innovating the tipographic tools. Romanian books have been translated and published both by the efforts of the clergy and the laymen. Among them, we mention Michael Dürr, J. Friederich Herfurt and Ioan Henning, whose activity consisted on editing the Romanian books. Based on Axente Banciu’ s work, the study is offering a site plan over Boghici brothers editorial activity, their efforts in supporting cultural development and commercial improvement of printings.
