Imprecaţia în cărţile de blestem
Imprecation in the Books of Curses

Summary/Abstract: Romanian Eighteenth-century reflects a cultural dialogue where the Greek tutelage appears as defining against the expansion of the ideas of the French “Lumieres”. In this context of cultural confluences in the Romanian space, we propose to approach the first Romanian rhetoric from the perspective of the immutable versus “esprit du siècle”. We track in a diachronic perspective the evolution of a figure coming from the classical rhetoric to the one adapted to the Romanian space (Rhetoric of Piuariu Molnar, chapter 34 “To curse”) and its impact on customary and normative law of the analyzed century.
