GAVRIIL BĂNULESCU–BODONI AND THE ORGANIZATION OF MONACHAL LIFE IN BESSARABIA DURING THE RUSSIAN – TURKISH WAR (1806 – 1812)

Summary/Abstract: Among several problems, little or not at all researched in national historiography is the issue related to the organization and functioning of spiritual and clerical life, especially the monastic one, in Bessarabia during the Russo–Turkish War (1806 – 1812). This research study reflects the role of the Moldavian–Wallachian exarch Garviil Bănulescu – Bodoni in organizing the monastic life in Bessarabia during this period. Based on published materials and especially the ones discovered in the State archives, the author describes the most important reforms carried out by the metropolitan in the monastic life of this period.
