Summary/Abstract: At the turn of the twentieth century, the Caransebeş Diocese printing activity was popularized through the Diocesan Bookstore, one of the most important cultural institutions from the Romanian South-West territory. Beside the religious printings, through the Diocesan Bookstore numerous works of the Romanian authors that lived beyond the Carpathians were made available to people from Banat. This contributed to the formation of a national and religious consciousness among Banat's communities. Because of the major impact it had in sustaining the religious and cultural activities from the region, organizing and developing the Diocesan Bookstore was a permanent focus of the Caransebeş Consistory.
