The activity of printing began in the Diocese Râmnic in the first half of the seventeenth century, through the care of Prince Matei Basarab, who will use his connections with Metropolitan Petru Movila of Kiev to bring a printing company and craftsmen, who were seated at Govora monastery, here been printed five books (in five years). In the eighteenth century, cultural activity in the Diocese of Ramnic reaches its climax, first under the leadership of Saint Antim Ivireanul, who will bring again the technique of printing on these lands, by printing nine books, and then under the leadership of bishop Damaschin The Teacher, a great scholar, a militant for replacing in the cult of Slavonic with the Romanian language. He has devoted his entire activity to the translation of religious ritual books in Romanian, having a great contribution to the formation of Romanian literary language. Although printed least in life, his work has been exploited by his successors until 1825. Typography from Râmnic contributed to the defense of Orthodoxy in Transylvania, threatened by Catholic proselytism, especially after the events of 1698-1701. Books printed here were widely circulating in Transylvania, Maramureș and Banat.

Par son activité pastorale, impression et missionnaire à Râmnic et plus tard à Bucarest, St. Anthim a incarné le vrai berger qui met l’âme „pour ses brebis”, s’élevant au-dessus d’elle tous les hiérarques qui ont passé avant et après lui sur la banquette de la métropolitaine de la Valachie. En plus de livres imprimés, beaucoup d’entre eux en roumaine, s’est révélée pour être un bon gestionnaire de l’église, préoccupé par les besoins des fidèles et les prêtres dont il a passé. En plus de s’occuper du peuple romain, a contribué à restaurer, reconstruire et embellissement et même les temples de la construction du Saint, au moment qu’il a passé le diocèse. Documents à portée de main il nous s’asseyait sur son implication pour augmenter la richesse du primat du diocèse, par l’achat de terres, d’où elle procède avec des peintures et la réparation des églises, tandis que d’autres construisent au sol. Dans un signe d’appréciation d’activités et son sacrifice, notre Église l’a passé parmi les saints, célébré le 27 Septembre

The appearance of this study coincides with the conclusion of the Action Plan "European Union - Republic of Moldova" (EUMAP), which will be officially concluded at the end of February 2008, but which will continue to serve as a reference point in the political dialogue established by the EU in relationship with the Republic of Moldova and during the following years. The most popular view of the Action Plan at this time is that its implementation has led to more disagreements than consensual agreements between the authorities and society, as well as between the ruling party and the opposition parties. The discrepancies on the subject of the Action Plan are all the more astonishing as many of the objectives and tools of this Action Plan initially aroused the enthusiasm of most actors in the Republic of Moldova. The last period of implementation of this Plan coincided with the emergence of a growing list of discrepancies between civil society and central authorities on the successes achieved in these 3 years of implementation, while providing valuable elements of analysis, comparison and reflection on the reasons given.

“The gypsy palace”, as a certain type of architectural object in Romania is called, has developed over the last 15 years and has gained more and more interest due to its peculiar style, which is different from other architectural style in Romania. It is identified with an ethnic group that only recently has embraced sedentary life. In a first stage forms and colors turn the attention to the phenomenon, but, as one starts to go deeply into it, the aspects of cultural identity become more important. It becomes clear that only an interdisciplinary analysis can offer reasoning beyond the prejudices born out of a supposed cultural superiority, which in the 15 year of transition has been hardly proven.

By summing up the literature of social anthropology the article provides a broader perspective on the proposed theme. It is especially important that by translating this study Romanian readers have the chance to get acquainted with a small segment of the scientific activity of the researcher. The study of stigmatized ethnicity, gender inequality and precarious work signed by Enikő Vincze, professor of anthropology and gender studies at Babeş-Bolyai University, is a text based on research into social exclusion, multiple discrimination in an East European context, with a look focused on Roma women. Activist research along with the involvement of the researcher in the work of several civic organizations provides a new insight into the current scientific field.

Public debates on the regional dimension of societal organization are plagued by a series of stereotypes originating in the lack of adequate knowledge about this phenomenon. Precisely because of this, the aim of this study is to present in a systematic and analytic manner the theoretical concepts, working methods and their possibilities of application in solving some technical aspects related to the efficient management of territory and the related issue of great actual relevance in Romania, the organization of development regions. We do not intend to elaborate an optimal solution to the problem, as we believe that no such recipe exists; conversely, we wish to contribute to the debate by sketching a number of scientifically grounded alternative proposals, the effective realization of which depends on the actual political context. While the material may seem too technical and difficult to digest without a solid background in the field, the specialized language was needed in order to meet certain requirements of scientific analysis.

The study proposes to draw out the ethno-demographic portray of national minorities from Romania. The analysis has as a start point the statistic dates given by the National Institute of Statistics with which ISPMN concluded a unitive protocol. The dates used for the elaboration of this study can be grouped in two categories: 1. Census dates (between 1930 and 2011) and 2. dates which come from the population dynamics (1994-2011). As concerning the analyzed minorities, it started from the structure of parliamentary representation of the minorities from Romania.

The question arises: is it necessary to analyse, once more, the personality andwork of Elemér Jakabffy, lawyer, public fi gure, leader of his community, deputy,social scientist, editor and patron of the periodical Magyar Kisebbség, a journalwith versions in Romanian, German, and French, known throughout Europe– does his immense activity, therefore, call for a new analysis? My answer is:yes. This is the case not only because Jakabffy as a public fi gure carried outextremely responsible and extensive activities but also to get a clearer pictureof him, the man. Jakabffy’s political and social role has fascinated me for sometime: I see in him an outsider from within the system, a politician who does notdedicate himself to a party or a movement but who is rather the follower andpromoter of values, (often of public) ideas, duties that he had respected all hislife, never giving them up in any situation. Admirable consistency. Jakabffy’spublic involvement is not that of a politician, as he behaves more like an actorof the associative sphere and dedicates his life and activity to the service of thecommunity. It is an institution embedded in one person. When there were noinstitutions (yet) to deal with the challenges of minority status, he invented andestablished them. Thus, his perception of his role can be interpreted correctlyonly in a broader context, for which a general analysis of the concept of politicsand political activity is necessary, including an analysis of the (political andsocial) elite of the Hungarian community in Transylvania, from the interwarperiod.

Tocmai în ziua aceea, Sava Popovici Săvoiu, paroh în Deva, era singur în cancelaria protopopească. Făcea ordine în documente, arhivându-le, când a sosit de la episcopia ortodoxă din Sibiu adresa cu nr. 735/1850, o hârtie ce-i va schimba viața. Este și motivul pentru care o reproduce în memoriile sale, cele mai întinse din câte cunoaște cultura română, 22.000 de pagini în 45 de volume. O vom reproduce și noi, fiindcă de la ea au început toate: „PS. ...la regimentul de linie no. 31 a Baronului Culoz au devenit postul de capelan castrens vacant. Preacinstia ta ești îndrumat a întreba pre efectivul preot de-acolo dacă să învoiește a primi această capelanie cu o leafă lunală de 60 fl., fără cvartir și serviciu. Dacă se va învoi a intra în acțiunea aceasta, atunci să să trimeată, fără amânare, cu cartea (testimoniu) de botez și documentele de cualificațiune școlară, încoace, spre a să așterne înaltului Ministerium Suprem spre întărire. Din Siedinția Consistorială..."'12. Pentru ce i s-a oferit tocmai lui acest post era clar: știa germana, limba de comandă a regimentului, era tânăr și văduv, avea școală. Propunerea era ademenitoare, căci devenea angajat al statului cu o leafa lunară garantată și totodată i se deschidea posibilitatea unei cariere frumoase. Inconvenientul principal era depărtarea de casă, de părinți, de Ardeal, fiindcă unitatea își avea garnizoana tocmai în Galiția, la Lemberg. Ce să facă? Părerile erau împărțite. Doi prieteni din Sibiu, doi nemți, căpitanul de piață din Sibiu, Devald, și fostul medic militar, acum farmacist, Bruz, îl sfătuiesc să nu mai stea pe gânduri și să primească. Cine știe dacă va mai avea vreodată o astfel de ocazie? Alții, dimpotrivă, cred că nu este bine să plece printre străini. De fapt, era un episod într-o dispută veche, aceea dintre a pleca sau a rămâne. Acum tot mai mulți români ardeleni, cărora după revoluție li s-a deschis calea spre demnități, se aflau în fața acestei dileme: „Toți ziceau : rămâi acolo unde te cunosc și cânii alodiali și te poți mai ușor împăca cu aceasta ca în străini, cu cei necunoscuți.
