THE LEGACY OF THE TRANSYLVANIAN SCHOOL IN THE COLLECTION OF THE METROPOLITAN LIBRARY OF BUCHAREST

Summary/Abstract: The collections of libraries and museums from Romania keep priceless heritage assets. Old books form a distinct category of museal pieces. Such a collection is found at the Metropolitan Library of Bucharest, built in the mid of XXth century and, subsequently, completed by purchase. Within the mentioned holdings are also preserved some copies of old Romanian books whose authors chronologically subsume under the cultural movement generically named the Transylvanian School. We refer to a series of books of distinctly religious, linguistic and historical nature. The study focuses on works – some original, others translations or compilations – of some renowned personalities of the Romanian culture during the Enlightenment, from the end of the XVIIIth century and beginning of the XIXth century.
