Coriolan Petranu – Referee of the Historical Monuments Commission and His Expert Art Reports Written in Romania during the Interwar Period. Scattered Letters. The present study is a welcome and useful completion of the chapter published by the author in the volume entitled Istoria Artei la Universitatea din Cluj [Art History at the University in Cluj] (Nicolae Sabău, Corina Simion, Vlad Țoca. Coordinator Nicolae Sabău). The article focuses on previously unpublished letters on the topic. The teaching activity of Professor Coriolan Petranu, founder of the Art History Department at the University in Cluj, was beneficially completed after 1920 by his contributions in the field of historical monuments protection in Inter-War Romania and his expert reports in the field of fine arts and of the restructuring of the museums in Transylvania according to the modern principles of European museums. Among his numerous expert reports, the documents/letters under analysis record his observations, actual art historical studies, on projects related to town planning, architecture, public monuments, street furniture and technical works, urban systematization plans etc. (the building sites, liturgical furniture and wall paintings of the Orthodox church in Târgu Mureș and of the Orthodox cathedral in Cluj, the fresco of the festive hall of the Academic College in Cluj painted by master Costin Petrescu, 1938-39), the analysis of certain folk art objects from museums and collections in Transylvania, public and institutional monuments (Avram Iancu’s statue in Cluj, the Union Monument in Arad, Pârvan’s bust from the University in Cluj etc.), expert reports on Romanian vernacular monuments, wooden churches (Poiana, Tălgi, Honțișor, Bocșa Română, Roșiori etc.) and masonry churches (Criscior), his correspondence with artists of the Inter-War Period and the exhibitions he organized (Catul Bogdan, Emil Cornea, Atanase Damian, Aurel Ciupe, Aurel Papp etc., the exhibition Collegium Artisticum Transylvanicorum, Cluj, 1921), his expert reports on works of painting, sculpture, graphic arts and European bookmaking. The correspondence of the art historian from Cluj with intellectuals, professors, art historians, museum directors and library directors of upper and general education institutions from Great Romania, from Bessarabia and Bucovina, was impressive (Petre Constantinescu, Oreste Tafrali, Vasile Ciurea, Al. P. Arbore). He also made generous donations of books and photographic materials to these institutions.

L’établissement des institutions de l’Église grecque-catholique à Baia Mare (mag. Nagybánya) et à Baia Sprie (mag. Felsőbánya) a réellement commencé au cours du dernier quart du xviiie siècle. Sur les dix doyennés de l’évêché de Moukatcheve (mag. Munkács), situés sur le territoire de comté de Szatmár, deux ont été nommés pour cette ville minière. Cette région proche du Maramureș (mag. Máramaros) et de la Transylvanie est devenue une partie intégrante du comté de Maramureș au milieu du xxe siècle. Cette réorganisation administrative a fait croire à plusieurs spécialistes roumains – de même qu’au grand public – que le patrimoine matériel greccatholique de la région pourrait être traité ensemble avec le patrimoine culturel régional de Maramureș. La présente étude montre que des églises en pierre grecques-catholiques de la fin du xviiie siècle présentent des particularités locales que l’on rencontre aussi à Baia Sprie, Cetăţele (mag. Györkefalva) et Tăuţii de Sus (mag. Giródtótfalu). La maçonnerie des églises est très simple, dépourvue de détails architecturaux complexes, mais cette pauvreté est parfois compensée par des toitures monumentales. Une toiture mansardée a été montée à Cetăţele, tandis que l’église de Tăuţii de Sus a une énorme flèche. La première partie de l’étude propose une révision des données sur l’histoire de ces églises à la lumière des sources découvertes dans les anciennes archives de l’éparchie de Moukatcheve au cours des dernières années. La deuxième partie est consacrée à des analyses détaillées des iconostases des églises de Baia Sprie et Cetăţele. La comparaison des deux ensembles révèle qu’ils ont été réalisés par les mêmes ateliers. En ce qui concerne la critique du style, leurs peintres sont identifiés comme « Ştefan de Şişeşti » ; en ce qui concerne leurs sculpteurs, aucune donnée n’a encore été trouvée à ce jour. Une particularité des deux iconostases réside dans le fait que non seulement les portes royales battantes et certaines structures ornementales sont chantournées, mais ces chantournements caractérisent également l’arrière-plan des icônes dans l’axe central, ainsi que celui des apôtres et des prophètes. Quant à la représentation de Dieu le Père, elle est en relief. L’Auteur suggère que ces choix peuvent représenter une innovation dans la qualité esthétique qui ne pouvait être achevée que dans les intérieurs lumineux des églises en pierre. Dans le cadre de la présente étude, des tentatives ont été faites pour explorer les antécédents et les parallèles de ce phénomène sur le territoire de l’éparchie de Moukatcheve.

An older desire of the author is the research of the pre-Roman vestiges from the territories of some well-known Roman fortresses in the late Roman period located in the center area (especially in the central-southern area) of the Dobrudjan Pontic province. This time, we analyze old and new discoveries from within late Roman centers such as Ulmetum (Pantelimonu de Sus, Constanţa County) and from Tropaeum Traiani (Adamclisi, Constanţa County), respectively of the immediate or relatively close surroundings. In addition to resuming the study of all previous information on the inventory of the pre-Roman archeological and numismatic results at each point, are presented new pre-Roman monetary discoveries (33 ex.). Those from the late fortifications were found in secondary positions, in chronological contexts long after their beaten and circulation period. Some, from outside the area of these cities, are isolated discoveries as a result after some surface research, and others can be considered as monetary deposits (Adamclisi 2/point Ispanaru and Șipote). In the order of the number of discovered pieces we enumerate the following issuing centers: Callatis (18 ex.), Histria (6 ex.), Tomis (3ex.), Dionysopolis (1 ex.), Olbia (1 ex.), Chersones (1 ex.), Phanagoria (1 ex.), Macedonia(1 ex.) and an unassigned piece (1 ex.). In addition to the observations on the monetary circulation and penetration of the specific parts of the mentioned centers, there are discussed a series of issues regarding the issuing of some monetary types in the callatian mint in Hellenistic period (types Dionysus/wreath and Apollo/tripod). All these findings are of particular importance for surprising the promoted economic and commercial directions on one side by Histria in the central dobrudjan area in the period of 6th-3rdcentury B.C. and on the other side by Callatis in the south and south-west of the Istro-Pontic area, especially in the second part of the Hellenistic period.
More...Keywords: standard form contracts; contracts of adhesion; economic analysis of contracts;
Contemporary economies may not be imagined in the absence of standard form contracts, concluded by the adhesion of the customer to the professional’s offer. This undeniable reality forces private law scholars to study the contract as product and the modularity of its terms, as well as the relationship between core terms and ancillary terms in contracts. At the same time, the analysis must focus on the structural and functional relations between contractual clauses, contractual terms (elements) and the contract in its entirety, because, from an economic point of view, these aspects are of extraordinary relevance for the functions of contract law in a market economy. Therefore, from a legal perspective, the study of markets is, alongside with the study of property, no more than the study of contracts. It is the merit of the economic analysis of law to have emphasized this reality and to have brought it to the center of the interdisciplinary approach to private law, thus contributing to a debate which, however formal it may appear, focuses on the substance of fundamental concepts. Centered on standard form contracts, the following paper studies the relation (i) between contractual clauses and contracts, (ii) contractual clauses and contractual terms (elements), (iii) the standardization of contracts and their conclusion by adhesion, and (iv) the standard form contract and the (derived) object of contractual obligations.

Although then year 2020 was marked by the SARS CoV 2 pandemic, and the judicial activity was significantly reduced during the state of emergency period, the same year may be considered as well, to be a reference year by reference to the large number of issues of civil procedural law on which the High Court of Cassation and Justice had the opportunity to rule on. Both the panel resolving the appeal in the interest of the law, and the panel clarifying certain issues of law rendered numerous decisions with a value of principle, which, besides the binding force attached to the solution adopted, are largely conclusive by deep, certainly thorough legal reasoning with the valence of guiding the judicial practice and contributing to the development of the science of the civil procedural law. With regard to the large number of such decisions, we deemed it useful to try to draft a summary intended to attempt, in an inherently concentrated and selective manner, to point out the main issues clarified by the supreme court.

Title IV of the Code of Civil Procedure establishes new standards of legal protection by regulating provisional measures in the field of intellectual property rights. They cannot have as their direct object the intellectual creation, but can be established only in connection with it, for the protection of intellectual property rights. The risk of infringement of intellectual property rights, but also the risk of causing irreparable damage can be prevented or remedied only through interim measures, and not through precautionary measures. The interim measure of obtaining additional evidence as to the existence and extent of the infringement imposes an obligation on the parties to be transparent, obliges the defendant to present all evidence under its control which is or may be related to the infringement of intellectual property rights, even if through this he comes to present evidence against his own interests. The right to information allows to obtain information on the production and distribution network of counterfeiting, as well as to identify the mass of counterfeit goods. Thus, third parties who, through no fault of their own, end up having information regarding an illegal act, in which case they may be obliged by a court to present to the injured person the data they have, including the identity of the perpetrator of the wrongful act. The third party will cooperate under the threat that at any time he may acquire the status of perpetrator of the violation against which the preservation of evidence may be ordered, the provisional prohibition of the violation, but also a substantive action taking into account his refusal to comply with the court order, a refusal which is apt to give rise to the judicial presumption that the evidentiary thesis put forward by the applicant – the holder of the infringed intellectual property right – has been proved. The measures to ensure the preservation of evidence are exclusively intended to keep the means of evidence unaltered, to preserve them until the moment of their administration in question, the judicial procedure being finalized by a court decision which establishes concretely which is the measure that preserves as unaltered an evidence, as well as the person who must carry out that measure, the judgment being rendered in contradiction with this person. The bailiff intervenes only in the stage of execution of the respective court decision. Prohibition of infringement of intellectual property rights or temporary cessation of infringement of intellectual property rights is the most important interim measure that must be taken in matters of intellectual property rights in order to preserve the substance of the right and to limit the damage caused to the holder. Only the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure apply to the conditions of establishment, jurisdiction, judicial procedure, the manner of setting and withdrawing the security, the duration of interim measures. Interim measures may be ordered even before a substantive action is brought before a court, in which case the legislator considered that there should be a time limit on the duration of the measure taken. If so, on expiry of that period, the applicant has not brought an action on the merits, the interim measure shall cease ex lege. Judgment of applications for interim measures in matters of intellectual property rights is judged according to the procedure of the presidential ordinance, without waiving the condition of urgency, verifying only the provisional nature and the non prejudice of the merits.

The Byzantin and the Syrian historiography mentions an encounter between the two Great Fathers of the Eastern Church, sometime in the fourth century, an encounter that modern critical historiography deems very unlikely to have happened. Whether the actual encounter happened, or not, its meaning appears overwhelmingly important to the state of the Ecclesiastical conscience of the time, which shadows the factual. The apocryphal narratives provide information of a tacit intention to promote the equality in rank of the two Great Fathers, their spiritual unity, a shared theological vision on doctrine during the post-Nicene period, and, not the least important, the complementarity of their methods; St. Ephrem the Syrian opts for a symbolic-poetic approach, whereas St. Basil the Great for a dogmatic-conceptual method. They both struggled to dismantle the rationalist, neo-Aryan theology, and to ensure the preservation and transmission of the unaltered mystery of faith. In this study, I demonstrate that both Great Fathers opted for the apophatic metaphor Word-Silence to transfer the antinomic pair Hidden-Revealed into discourse. St. Ephrem the Syrian poeticized the ontological abyss of Creator-Creature, and forbids humans to gain access to what has not been revealed. He also finds that the only accepted reaction to Divine Love is angelic doxology. On the other hand, St. Basil the Great develops an entire theology of mystery and of the silence that makes the very core of Revelation, by operating a difference between dogma and kerygma. „The margin of silence” of the sacred Word, a theological metaphor coined by Lossky, means that the mystery and silence of the Revelation elude those outside the Church. At the same time, being inside Tradition, entertaining a permanent communication with the living mystery of faith belongs to those who are already inside. Thus, St. Ephrem the Syrian and St. Basil teach us that theology is not a sterile, intellectual discourse on God but living Word that appears within this burning, vivid silence.

The memorial pages are the living mirror of what the exercise involved in reviewing the shadows and lights of a resurrected end of totalitarianism, he with a human face. It is important to note that, as per the stipulations of the 2nd article of TUE, the European Union is built on an axiological and ontological capital that is completely democratic and tolerant. This `humanitarian added value` is a characteristic of all member states and equally, of all aspiring countries that are interested in outlining the mutual European values: respect the human dignity, of the freedom and democracy, of the outstanding `potentially liberating` European memory, of the fundamentals of the `rule of law`, with everything that has to do with the `respect for the human rights`, including the `right of the people belonging to minorities”. Together with the agonistic perspective as found after 1990 in Tzvetan Todorov books, filled with the liberating appeal to memory, the critical attitude towards totalitarianism and its avatars of Jeliu Jlev, initially exposed in the Fascism (1982), a softer version of the Totalitarian State (1967), where the Bulgarian philosopher and political scientist was warning on the `absolute coincidence` of the two versions of the totalitarian regime: the fascist version and the communist one.

The article offers a glimpse into the potential of a series of recent LiDAR based explorations, in cases combined with geophysical prospections, pin-pointed excavation and radiocarbon dating of enclosures, to contribute to the better understanding of the anthropic modified relief morphology and layout of several hill-top sites from South-Eastern Transylvania dated in the Bronze and Iron Ages. The study area, which is mostly forested, gathers one of the largest concentrations of Late Prehistory and Protohistory earthworks known on the territory of modern Romania. The presented data opens the pathway for the further exploration of relevant themes such as: diversity of the functions played by enclosures, the sites’ level of interconnectivity and the existence of hierarchies. It also points out the general need for establishing more accurately the earthworks’ chronology, topography and occupation intensity.

The paper aims at exploring the contributions of orthodox clergymen to the radical-right Romanian Press during the Holocaust years (1940-1944), with particular focus on the newspaper Porunca vremii (Command of the Times). Following this purpose, the research has three main objectives addressed in the corresponding sections of the paper: to identify the authors who contributed to Porunca vremii in their capacity of clergymen (first section); to identify and to classify the topics they wrote about in Porunca vremii (second section); to expose and to analyse what the clergymen wrote about Jews and the Jewish question (third section). Whereas the first two objectives are addressed in a mere quantitative manner, the last objective is developed by using qualitative methods that aim at identifying, classifying, and systematizing the ideas and arguments about the Jews (as a population) and the Jewish question (perceived as a problem) in Romania. The conclusion is that a strong antisemitism was professed, varying from economic to religious with a unique emphasis on economical antisemitism motivated by a religious insight.
More...Keywords: Moara Vlăsiei; Muntenia; 3rd millennium BC; mounds; Yamnaya;
The prehistoric (post-Eneolithic) tumular phenomenon seemed to evolve into a rather uninteresting topic for Western research once Marija Gimbutas left the archaeological stage. Most of her theories regarding the waves of kurgans and Indo-European populations had meanwhile become a historiographic heritage. Recently, research on the prehistoric tumular phenomenon has reached a scale that was completely unexpected some years ago. New palaeogenetic, isotopic and linguistic investigations have brought the topic back into debate, however, in a slightly more sophisticated approach. Although her contributions are not particularly highlighted, Marija Gimbutas once again occupies a place in the discussions. At the same time, the tumular/Yamnaya phenomenon of the first half of the 3rd millennium BC seems an overexposed topic, very present in what are considered as high standard publications by the elite of researchers in the field. Although mentioned, the Yamnaya impact on local societies does not deal in most cases with the affected subjects. In this article, by presenting a case study, we aim to bring out of the shadow of the mounds segments of local societies that are presumed to have interacted with the newcomers. The existence of local cultures/aspects in southern Romania, which intersect chronologically with the tumular funerary phenomenon, is not a new topic, but in the absence of new archaeological finds the debates seem subsidiary. In this study, we try to outline and analyse with available means an episode dated to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC on the Lower Danube, without segregating the local world from newcomers. Starting from the archaeological research conducted in the locality of Moara Vlăsiei (Ilfov), our text will seek to identify directly or indirectly these traces that seem to be relatively discreet and isolated. At the same time, it aims to offer an alternative to what tends to become a unilateral discourse, namely the negative/violent impact the Yamnaya migration to the west had on local societies. The Yamnaya phenomenon has certain peculiarities in the West-Pontic region precisely because here it intersected with the local cultural environment. Archaeological information, as elusive as it is, speaks of a not at all one-way direction of the impact the Yamnaya had on local societies. The interaction of the two sides seems to be more complex.
More...Keywords: Kantianism; critical philosophy; Kantian moral philosophy; Romanian philosophy; Gheorghe Lazăr; Eufrosin Poteca;
The beginnings of the critical philosophy in Romania have been traditionally connected with the activity of some Transylvanian scholars, most importantly with the teaching activity of Gheorghe Lazăr in the Saint Sabbas College of Bucharest (1818–1822). However, a fresh new look at the facts suggests that this received view is rather groundless. The first thinker positively influenced by Kant and who disseminated Kantian ideas in print was Eufrosin Poteca, who taught philosophy in the Saint Sabbas College after Lazăr’s departure and death (1825–1832). Poteca compiled the first general exposition of Kant’s philosophy in Romanian and defended a Kantian conception of morality, nevertheless subordinated to an eudaemonist ethics of virtues. The sources, previously undiscovered, of his knowledge of the Kantian doctrines were Tennemann’s handbook of the history of philosophy and Krug’s system of practical philosophy, which Poteca read in K. Koumas’ Greek translations.

The article aims to present some elements regarding the history of Romanian law in Bessarabia from 1812 until the period immediately following the Great Union. The evolution of Romanian law in this period could be described by three determinants: unity, survival and unification. In 1812 there was a cohesive system of legal norms in Bessarabia, a true autochthonous law, so that the annexation of Bessarabia by the Tsarist Empire did not mean the automatic replacement of the applicable rules of conduct, but some legal institutions survived until the Great Union. Moreover, immediately after the annexation of Bessarabia, there was the intention to draw up a „Civil Code for Bessarabia”, the jurist Petru Manega succeeding in carrying out such a project following the model of the Napoleonic Code. The last stage analyzed is that of the process of legislative unification of Bessarabia, a difficult process and, unfortunately, with a short-term effect. Last but not least, the study aims to bring up in actuality the personality and the work of two illustrious Romanian lawyers, Andrei Rădulescu and Vespasian Erbiceanu.

This article examines the legal institution of the challenge against the delaying of proceedings, having as premise the raison d’être of this institution. The Romanian legislator took a first step towards conducting proceedings if not within an optimal and foreseeable period, at least within a reasonable one, by amending the Code of Civil Procedure to introduce the institution of the challenge meant to expedite the conducting of civil trials. Throughout this article we will look at how the challenge against the delaying of proceedings has been regulated, but in particular at the problems that have arisen in practice. Finally, several proposals de lege ferenda are put forward, which should be implemented by the legislator in order for this legal institution to achieve the purpose for which it has been adopted, followed by a few conclusions reflecting the state of play of this institution, but especially answering the question of whether the challenge against the delaying of proceedings is an effective remedy, within the meaning of art. 13 of the Convention, against the excessive duration of proceedings.

This study is the first part of a presentation of Romanian national legal system, with regard to investigation, prosecution and evidence in Romanian criminal procedural law. The study also contains comparative law elements with reference to the French legal system and is structured in several chapters regarding general aspects of the procedure, phases of the criminal procedure, as concerns the meaning of investigation and prosecution in the Romanian and French legal system and the meaning of bringing to trial in both legal systems, sources of criminal procedural law, bodies carrying out investigation and prosecution, with regard to investigation bodies of the criminal police, the prosecutor, specialised investigative bodies and certain bodies outside judicial structures. Other chapters of the study refer to threshold for initiating investigation and prosecution, the legality and opportunity principle, the status of the suspect/defendant, specialised procedure for financial criminal investigations. The chapters of the study regarding investigation measures refer to formal designation as a suspect, questioning the suspect pre-trial, interrogation of witnesses in the investigation stage (including complainants/injured party), arresting the suspect and detention for questioning, pre-trial custodial detention and house arrest, interception of postal communications (letters), electronic surveillance, monitoring of bank transactions, with reference to obtaining data on a person’s financial transactions and obtaining data regarding the financial status of a person. Other themes include tracking and tracing of objects and persons, data mining and profiling, access to relevant premises ('crime scene'), search and seizure, on-line search of computers, freezing, production orders (in particular for banks, service providers, public authorities and administrators of other data collections), invoking the assistance of experts to examine clues, infiltration, controlled deliveries. The study also analyses prosecution measures, with regard to opening of investigation and prosecution, unilateral disposal of the case (including remedy against it), multilateral disposal of the case (including negotiated justice, diversion and remedy against it), reopening of the case closed on different grounds, committing to trial and presenting the case in court. The study ends by focusing on evidence, with regard to the status of illegally or improperly obtained evidence, admissibility of written reports and status of evidence obtained in other member states. The second part of the presentation of Romanian national legal system will refer to the rights of the suspect/defendant during investigation and prosecution.

Poursuivant ses efforts voués à reconstituer l’histoire des porteurs du nom Gorovei (projet initié en 2013) et, dans la mesure du possible, leur généalogie, l’auteur présente ci-dessous une branche dont la vie s’est déroulée tout au long du XIXe siècle dans le village de Ghigoieşti (département de Neamţ). Quelques kilomètres séparent ce village de Bârgăuani, le nid campagnard des Gorovei, où ils font leur apparition vers la fin du XVIe et le commencement du XVIIe siècle; cette proximité a permis l’hypothèse que l’auteur de la branche de Ghigoeşti puisse être un Gorovei de Bârgăuani qui ait transféré son domicile par mariage. Mais la confrontation avec les documents a montré que, par contre, l’auteur de cette branche, un Vasile Gorovei, tirait son origine d’un autre département de l’ancienne Moldavie. Tandis que son frère Constantin se maria a Radomireşti (Bacău) pour y fonder une branche qui aura une longue histoire, très bien connue (cf. „Carpica”, XLVI, 2017), Vasile prit en mariage une fille Lozonschi de Ghigoieşti. Ses enfants – quoique soutenus par leur oncle maternel, l’échanson Iordache Lozonschi (fondateur d’une église qui porte encore son nom à Iaşi) – n’ont pas réussi à garder et agrandir les biens hérités. Leurs activités les ont rendus pauvres et ils sont effectivement tombés bien bas. Il semble que plusieurs de ses descendants dussent abandonner leur village afin de trouver ailleurs une nouvelle chance. Répandus selon leurs mariages ou métiers, ils ont tous perdu la mémoire familiale et il est presque impossible de retrouver leurs traces: ils peuvent être à l’origine des uns des noyaux identifiés après le milieu du XIXe siècle dans d’autres départements de la Moldavie (cf. „Carpica”, XLII, 2013 et XLIV, 2015). Jusqu’à présent, l’auteur eut la chance de retrouver un seul descendant des Gorovei de Ghigoieşti, porteur de ce patronyme, dont la filiation a pu être déterminée avec certitude. La partie finale de l’étude est consacrée à l’analyse des documents concernant les aïeux des frères Vasile Gorovei (établi à Ghigoieşti) et Constantin (établi à Radomireşti). Ces documents prouvent leur appartenance à la postérité (par filiation féminine) du grand échanson Dabija Nădăbaico (1626). Très nombreux et répandus dans les départements de la Moldavie méridionale, les descendants de celui-ci ont connu eux aussi la paupérisation et la dégradation sociale: ils sont devenus des răzeşi (petits propriétaires) dans des petits villages, tels que Vitorogi (Tecuci) et Văcăreşti (Putna). En cette direction, les recherches continuent.
