Petru Maior’s Protopopadichia – The Significance of the Work in the Long Run

Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to discuss and assess the importance of Petru Maior’s Protopopadichia, the first work on canon law and institutional history in the evolution of the United Romanian Church in Transylvania. The analysis of the significance of the work in the long run is corroborated with the research on the influences of the movements of that time (Gallicanism, Febronianism, and Josephinism) and the dynamics of the evolution of the United Romanian Church institutions in the modern era. Petru Maior’s position from 1795 is placed (by the author) in the ideological and eventual context of the time, as well as in relation to the subsequent theoretical formulations belonging to the canon (private) law or to the history of the ecclesiastical institutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
