Editing of Historical Documents at the “George Bariţiu” Institute of History of the Romanian Academy in Cluj-Napoca. German documents

Summary/Abstract: The main task assumed by tradition by the „George Bariţiu” Institute of History in Cluj-Napoca is processing and editing documents of medieval, premodern, modern and contemporary history. Our institution carries on 5 of the total 7 document collections being actually published today under the aegis of the Romanian Academy: 1. Documenta Romaniae Historica. Series C. Transylvania (vol. XVII, 1386-1390); 2. The Fiscal Conscription of Transylvania from 1750 (vol. VII); 3. The Sources of Horea’s Uprising, in 2 series: A. Diplomataria (vol. XII) and B. Narrative Sources; 4. Documents of the 1848 Revolution in the Romanian Lands. C. Transylvania (vol. XI, 6-31 July 1848); 5. The National Movement of the Transylvanian Romanians, 1849-1918 (vol. VII/1, 16 July 1863 - 19 November 1865). Methodological precision is a priority of our work, as these collections edit Romanian, Latin, Hungarian and German language documents, while the latter represent 30-40% of the last 2 collections mentioned. After a brief review of the methodological preoccupations unfolded since 1961 in order to create a coherent, unitary system of norms regarding document transcription and publishing, the study analyses the most important steps and issues observed in this process.
