The Instruments of the Passion in the Woodcuts of Early Romanian Books (18th-19th centuries)

Summary/Abstract: The instruments of Christ’s Passion appear in several woodcuts in the early Romanian Books. The religious books in which they are reproduced were published in the following centers: Râmnic, Iaşi, Blaj, Bucharest, Buda, Braşov, between 1706-1811. Most of these woodcuts were signed by remarkable craftsmen who are well known in the history of early Romanian graphics: Ioanichie Bakov, Ieremia Marcovici, Vlaicu, Petru Papavici Râmniceanu, Ioaniţiu Endrédi, Popa Costandin Râmniceanu, Stanciul Tipograf, Ioniţ Ion Voina. There are doubtless interferences between the graphic representation of the Passion and the images shown on the antimensions. Certainly, their source of inspiration comes from the Occident.
