Conştiinţa unităţii de credinţă şi de neam a românilor din Maramureş – păstrată prin procurarea cărţilor de cult din Principatele Române
The consciousness of the unity of faith and nation of the Romanians from Maramureş – preserved by purchasing cult books from the Romanian Principalities

Summary/Abstract: In a cultural-historical context, the Romanian printed and manuscript book in Maramureş reflects the possibility allowed by the oppressive state, the tradition of the spiritual values representative of the people's being and, in direct connection with them, the spiritual "resistance" of the Romanian population. Unlike Wallachia and Moldavia, in Transylvania and Maramureş, in the conditions of foreign - Hungarian, Ottoman and then Habsburg rule - the Romanians exploited and oppressed were deprived of their own ruling class. The feudal class, the Church and the culture of oppressive states, most often, under the veil of faith, the Reformation, and then the union with Rome, the denationalization of the Romanians. The research of the religious-cultural phenomenon of the circulation of our old writings, along with the reconstruction of the past and the important role they had for the Romanian nation, offer first-hand testimonies on the unity of Romanian culture written over time. In its entirety, the important heritage book of Maramures, together with the fact that it expresses the reality of the Romanian religious and cultural life written on these lands, is, both by means of each manuscript or each print, and by the circulatory spread of all in the Carpathian space, as much evidence of the cultural and faith unity of all Romanians.
