Prosopographic Contributions: Solomon Bârlădeanu, Great Chancellor of Moldova

Summary/Abstract: This is a prosopographic study of one of the most important personalities of Moldavia in the second half of the 17th century – the great chancellor (marele logofăt) Solomon Bârlădeanu. Although he was always close to the throne, he was extremely rich and influential, well placed in the solidarity network of the time, generous with the worship places, educated and knowledgeable of the realities of the time, Solomon Bârlădeanu has not yet enjoyed a consistent biographical study. Our analysis, based mostly on documents, is divided into three distinct but closely related parts: the family genealogy, where we have succeeded in integrating, clarifying, and correcting more aspects of its lineage; cursus honorum and everyday life, where I have thoroughly followed its public activity and private life endeavours and, finally, some observations regarding the creation and dissolution of its entire heritage, given that for several decades he had gathered a huge fortune, but did not have direct followers.
