DOUĂ TESTAMENTE ALE CANTACUZINILOR MOLDOVENI DIN SECOLELE XVII-XVIII ȘI CÂTEVA NOTE DESPRE CTITORIILE FAMILIEI (DELENI ȘI ȚIBUCANI)
THE MOLDAVIAN CANTACUSINS’ TWO WILLS IN THE 17TH –18TH CENTURIES AND SOME NOTES ON THE FAMILIAL FOUNDATIONS (DELENI AND ȚIBUCANI)

Summary/Abstract: The history of the Cantacuzinos from Moldavia is a well known one, but some unveiled yet data and facts might help to round it off. In the present issue I analyze the will of Toderașco (Iordache) Cantacuzino, a great treasurer (June-September 1865), a known one but less used by the Romanian historiography, the will of his great grandson Iordache Cantacuzino (Deleanu), an unpublished document (May 4, 1783), and the documents of foundation of the hermitages of Deleni (Hârlău Countryside) and Țibucani (Neamț Countryside); those ones provide new or less known data on the Cantacuzinos and their foundations: the hermitage of Deleni, the hermitage of Țibucani, and Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church at Deleni, and St. Dumitru (Demetrios of Tessaloniki) Curch in Hârlău. Besides these above, I introduced more seals of the Cantacuzino, both from Delanu and Pașcanu branch, and also of some related families (Costin), able to contribute to a better acknowledge of sigillography and heraldry in Moldavia in the 17th–18th centuries.
