Feltámasztható életdokumentumok

Author(s): Kinga Tüdős S. / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 06/2013

Bár írásunkban a bemutatott források tudományosan felhasználható jellegét hangsú- lyozzuk, ez nem jelenti azt, hogy e forráscsoport kizárólag a szakemberek számára érté- kes. A laikus érdeklõdõ is „idõutazást” tehet egy-egy hajdanában büszke kastély rég ki- ürült lakóhelyiségeinek düledezõ falai között, ahol a régmúlt idõkben nemegyszer került sor éles vitákra a haza sorsáról. Igaz, a mára már elhagyott udvarházak, otthonok, romokban heverõ ajtók küszöbeit „átlépve” az olvasót nem várja a házigazda díszesen terített asztallal. Ennek ellenére mégis otthonra találhat, hiszen nyitva áll elõtte a kastélynak minden zuga: az „úr házától” a cselédszobákig, a pincékig, kamrákig. S ki tudná megállni, hogy ilyen környezetben képzeletében ne jelenjen meg egy-egy velencei zöld gránát mentében öltözött, fején nyusztsüveggel egykori nagyjaink közül a házigazda, aki a bársonnyal borított kardját derekára kötve épp az országgyûlésre indul. Mert a veszedelem elõl védeni kellett az otthon melegét. S õkegyelme jól tudta, míg van tiszta forrás, abból erõ is fakad.

Sanfter Tourismus. Die frühe Fotografie im Dienst des Siebenbürgischen Karpatenvereins und ihr Verbleib

Author(s): Frank-Thomas Ziegler / Language(s): German Issue: 58/2015

The present study traces the history and general contents of the graphic archive of the former Transylvanian Carpathian Association (SKV). Founded in 1880 in Hermannstadt/Sibiu, the Association, using the then relatively new medium of photography, ordered landscape images to be taken by photgraphs and provided a camera for the use of its members. Hence, it promoted a sustainable form of tourism in the Carpathians – a tourism imbued with a deep respect for nature’s creation. Objects from this collection were permanently improved through image enhancement made possible by many national and foreign partner institutions. These objects are to be found today in the Collection for Documentary Imagery of the National Brukenthal Museum and the Museum of Natural History in Hermannstadt/Sibiu. The photographs found their way into these collections after the transfer of the Association’s collections to the Brukenthal Museum, beginning with the 1920‘s. We are advocating for a reevaluation and rehabilitation of the objects from this collection, using an approach depicted from the field of art history. We are further advocating for recognizing the legitimacy in considering a part of this collection as a piece of Transylvanian art history.

The research carried out in Negrileşti - School Yard site in 2011 confirms once more the continuous human habitation in different historical periods and, especially, in the IVth-Vth centuries, Sântana de Mureş - Černjachov - type discoveries being extremely numerous.

Demographic and Ethnic Aspects in the View of the Foreigners that Travelled to the Harbours of the Danube (1801-1853)

Author(s): Maria Magdalena Tuluş / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

The testimonies of foreign travellers hold an important place for the researcher who means to reconstitute the history of the Romanian Principalities. The offered image is that of a society which oscillates between tradition and novelty, between medievalism and modernity, both in terms of ideas and morals. Their testimonies regarding the Romanian territory, focused especially on the first decades of the 19th century contain elements which analyse the historical, geographical and economic environment. A large part of the visitors of the Romanian territory come into contact with the realities of the Principalities through the intermediary of the Danubian towns, the Danube offering the most favourable way of transport for people and commodities, while land transport was ensured only by diligences, extremely hard and depending on the weather. The demographical and ethnic aspects specific to Danubian towns in the first half of the 19th century appeared in the narrations of some foreign travellers who had passed through the Romanian space. Their descriptions had been influenced by their profession, by certain personal hobbies, by the purposes that had driven them to cross the Principalities. Population growth did not bring ethnic homogenisation, on the contrary, many foreigners settled here, creating significant communities of Greeks, Jews, Bulgarians, Armenians, Italians, Habsburg vassals, English, etc. The contacts between these ethnic groups influenced the daily life of these harbour towns.

Actul constitutiv şi Statutele Comunităţii Bulgare din Galaţi (1930)

Author(s): Mariana-Delia Pohrib / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2011

The Bulgarian community, along with other local communities, brought its contribution, not to a high extent, but still not to a neglectable one, to the formation of the economic, social, political, cultural and religious life of the town of Galaţi, a port situated in a border area. The article briefly presents the Statutes of the Bulgarian Community from Galaţi, adopted in 1930, regulations ruling the life of the community during the first half of the XX-th century. Although the Bulgarian community from Galaţi doesn’t have a troubled history, like other minoritary communities, still, its mere documentary attestation in Galaţi grants it the right to be consigned by historiography.

Mihail Kogălniceanu’s Monument in Galaţi

Author(s): Viorica-Steluţa Pisică / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

The first bust of Mihail Kogălniceanu ever erected was placed in Galaţi, in 1893, only two years after the death of the great Romanian politician. Along time, it underwent a series of changes of location and even small modifications, all of them briefly presented by the present study. Nevertheless, the article focuses on the moments from 1893, surrounding the placement of the bust in Galaţi. The bust was gifted to the Townhall of Galaţi by the great man of culture and politician, V.A. Urechia.

Aburel – un neam armean stabilit la Galaţi în prima jumătate a secolului

Author(s): Paul Păltănea / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2013

This inedited study, written by the late historian Paul Păltănea from Galați, deals with a family of Armenian origin which played an important role in the town of Galați starting with the first half of the 19th century. The study clarifies the origin of the family name, the beginning of its presence in Galați as well as its evolution as an outstanding bourgeoisie family in the commercial and industrial life of Galați, during these days.

Un monument istoric din Tecuci: „Casă”, str. Galaţi, nr. 2

Author(s): Marius Mitrof / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2013

At the crossroads of 1 Decembrie 1918, Victoriei and Galaţi Streets, in Tecuci City, there stands a noticeable house built at the end of the 19th century, probably between 1887 and 1888, by the architect I. Ieşanu (or Eşanu), house which belonged to Nicolae L. Pelin, “a butcher merchant”. The Pelins were a wealthy family, their income residing in estates in Tecuci as well as in shares in Tecuci Bank, all of these being inherited by the 3 children of Nicolae L. Pelin, as well as by his wife, Zoe N. Pelin. The building on 2 Galaţi Street was, since 1932, the property of his daughter, Elena, teacher, married to lieutenant I. Rutza, from Tecuci. In 1982 she sold the building to the Pensioners’ Mutual Aid Fund from Tecuci which, in its turn, sold it, in 2010, to a natural person. In the first two decades of the 20th century, the building housed the members of the French military mission led by General Berthelot and, after the end of World War I, it hosted Nicolae Iorga, president of the Cultural League. The style of the construction pertains to the eclectic-urban architecture. Its plastic-decorative elements follow the standards of French neoclassicism. Its roof stands out through its high, pyramid-shaped dome. For the plastics of its facades, for the harmony of its architectural compositions, the building was considered as representative and was ranked among the historical monuments of the town.

Câteva ştiri despre Costache Conachi culese din presa primei jumătăţi a secolului al XIX-lea

Author(s): Gabriela Apostu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2009

In this article we deal with some information about Costache Conachi and his family. We refer to some short notices about his activities in the fields of literature (mainly as a translator, but also as a donator), administration (his positions in the state hierarchy, his contributions to the public affairs), and as a land owner (taking care of his possessions in a modern way, giving money and expecting to be given back). The information regarding his family concerns three characters: his daughter, Ecaterina-Catinca (her marriage and, after her father’s death, empowering her husband to take care of the heritage), his step sister, Maria-Marghioala (some transactions with houses) and his wife, Smaranda Conachi (unfortunately, only one piece of information, regarding her death).

Dascăli gălăţeni într-un izvor inedit de la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea

Author(s): Eugen Drăgoi / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2009

The unpublished document under study is a Record of Parish Clerks, a register of the church singers from Covurlui county, elaborated in 1858. To the best of our knowledge, this „record” is the oldest register of parish clerks from Covurlui county discovered so far. The documentary and historical value of the document preserved in the Archives of the Archpriest of Galaţi (file no. 77/1858, f. 125-128) is given both by the age of the document and by the precious information it conveys regarding the local churches (names of the parishes, patrons of the churches) and the lives of the parish clerks (the physical condition of some, their genealogy, the fluctuations in their positions, date of death etc). Some of the church singers mentioned in the records served as teachers in the schools held by the churches from Galaţi, at the middle of the 19th century. The author realizes a comparative analysis of the information conveyed by the document, restraining his investigation only to the 18 churches from the town of Galaţi. The information comprised in this unpublished Record of Old and New Parish Clerks from the town of Galaţi substantially adds to our knowledge regarding the church singers from the middle of the 19th century. This valuable document can’t be ignored by any future monography regarding the churches from Galaţi.

The freedom in the 18th century

Author(s): Doina Ruşti / Language(s): English Issue: 17/2016

Among the aspects of individual liberty, we think the case of the voluntary waiver of a right for which people have been fighting along history is especially interesting. Nevertheless within the anonymous life the annals do not register there were many individuals who chose to be slaves for different reasons. For a long period of time, the Romanian archives have kept many documents of self-sale of some people. In this study we are interested in the concrete conditions such cases produced more than 200 years ago, in order to understand the basis of the mentality today, regarding the sense of freedom and giving it up.

Székelység – A székelység

Okres średniowiecza i Pomorze średniowieczne w twórczości naukowej Profesora Tadeusza Białeckiego

Author(s): Dariusz Wybranowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2013

For many years of his academic career Professor Tadeusz Białecki has frequently dealt with the problems of the medieval Western Pomerania. Still as a student of the Warsaw University and shortly after graduating he investigated the subject of fortified towns (gords) in that region. Later, especially in the years 1958–1966, he wrote a few articles (published in the ‘West-Pomeranian Materials’ and in the ‘West-Pomeranian Journal’) on the medieval onomastics and settlement in the vicinity of Szczecin and Pyrzyce, and on the settlement base of Koszalin in the 13th century, when it was located. For many years Professor Białecki concentrated his attention on the history of the Western Slavdom, especially the Slavic past of Połabie, Western Pomerania and Szczecin. Another keynote (also treated in a popularising way) were the medieval monuments of Stargard and in its vicinity and the ones of Chojna, and the heraldry of West Pomeranian towns. In spite of his involvement in the investigations into the demographic changes of Western Pomerania after WW2 and into the displacement of the Germans before the 1950s, questions concerning the Middle Ages appeared from time to time in Professor Białecki’s works (especially at the end of 1980s and afterwards) in the form of articles and monographs concerning Szczecin and the changes in onomastics and demography within the Szczecin region and in other towns and in the whole area of Western Pomerania. For many years Professor Białecki’s teaching activity (first as an independent investigator at the History Institute of the Higher School of Pedagogy, and since 1985 at the Szczecin University) was connected with medieval questions. His interest in the Middle Ages and especially the history of Western Pomerania resulted in several monographs of towns or West-Pomeranian subregions (some of them written by Professor Białecki and some edited by him); in most cases they dealt with the post-war times but somehow they referred to the times of the Duchy of Pomerania. Some medieval threads may also be found in the commentaries to the Polish edition of Thomas Kantzow’s Pomerania, published together with E. Rymar and other authors. In spite of his enormous knowledge of the Middle Ages, his keen interest in that epoch, and in spite of being Professor Aleksander Gieysztor’s disciple, Tadeusz Białecki has never become a classical medievalist. Although the Middle Ages are visible in his works, they have never become the main thread of his academic production.
