Summary/Abstract: The church of the former Ghireasca hermitage, dedicated to Saint George the Great Martyr, is located in the North-Eastern part of Ghireasca village, which is part of Mălușteni commune, Vaslui county. The nowadays church was built of wood and brick, in 1808, and a beautiful manuscript Gospel is inherited from the older church. This, without a doubt, is perhaps the adornment of this church. The artistic Gospel was written in 1754 by the boyard Ilie Costache. Although the source of his inspiration were other older printed books, by the art with which it is written, with the frontispieces and gilded initials wonderfully interwoven as by the artistic skill with which the faces of the holy evangelists are executed, the gospel is undoubtedly a masterpiece of 18th century illuminated books.
