Church Slavonic manuscript collections in Poland hold over forty copies of homilies and encomia traditionally attributed to Clement of Ohrid. Although scholars have known about these copies for years, they have not been subjected yet to detailed linguistic and textual studies. The analysis of the works from the Lenten and Paschal cycles reveals that part of the copies retain old linguistic features – spelling and lexical units – from South Slavonic manuscripts which, no doubt, were still in use in areas of Western Russia during the 14th–16th centuries. As a rule, Clement’s works were faithfully copied, but there are occasionally examples of textual interventions that evince editorial activity by local scribes and compilers. The source material confirms the opinion that, within the Polish-Lithuanian state, Russian Orthodoxy was actively drawing from the South Slavonic literary tradition.

Le manuscrit conservé à la Bibliothèque de l’Académie Roumaine de Bucarest sous la cote Ms. rom. 1790 n’est pas comme les autres. La page du titre l’indique elle-même : on a affaire à un Sluzhebnik contenant les li- turgies des saints Jean Chrysostome et Basile le Grand, y compris quelques « autres offices d’hiérarques ». Com- mandité par le métropolite Ștefan de Hongrovalachie († 1668), achevé avec sa bénédiction à une date qui reste encore difficile à préciser, cet Ἀρχιερατικόν, destiné à l’usage exclusif des hauts prélats, est décoré de nombreuses miniatures et contient des textes en trois langues : les textes liturgiques sont en slavon ; les ecphonèses, c’est-à- dire les parties finales des ecténies à lire à voix haute, sont en grec, mais en caractères cyrilliques et souvent en transcription phonétique ; alors que la plupart des indications de régie à l’attention de l’officiant et presque tout le « Règlement pour l’ordination du métropolite et de l’évêque » sont en roumain. En partant du témoignage d’un voyageur russe en Moldavie et en Valachie, de l’Ekténie pour les défunts du Ms. rom. 1790 et du « dossier » du Synode de Târgovişte (1659), l’auteur a essayé de reconstituer le climat religieux de l’époque et de formuler une explication quant à l’inhabituelle initiative liturgique multilingue du métropolite de Valachie.

In 2019, the non-European movable cultural heritage belonging to the Franz Binder Museum was relocated in Sibiu, from the Hermes House (no. 11, Piața Mică), to the ASTRA Centre for Heritage (no. 20, Pădurea Dumbrava). In this context, the department of collection care of the ASTRA National Museum Complex, which is mainly responsible for the preventive conservation and administration of the museum’s cultural heritage, was entrusted with the task of carrying out the project. The actual period, from planning, organising, and preparation to the completion of the transport, lasted four months, and the action involved moving almost 4.000 ethnographic objects. With a focus on the planning and packing side, the case study describes in detail the steps taken, providing a benchmark and a model of good practice for those who might be facing a similar challenge.

: The scientific communication presents the results of a study of the collection of pistols and revolvers from the National Museum of History of Moldova, numbering about forty specimens of firearms of historical, technical and artistic significance. We propose to pay attention to the historical value of these weapons, presenting their description and evolution from pistols with the wheel lock mechanism to the flint lock and cap lock mechanism or percussion lock system. The article is a continuation of a series of publications on firearms from the previous issues of Tiragetia journal. The Western and Eastern samples of weapons examined here entered the museum collection as a result of donations and purchases, or were transferred from other institutions. The chronological framework of the collection covers the period from the Middle Ages (16th century) to the outbreak of World War II. Designers-gunsmiths are indicated separately or by country, some terminological aspects are specified regarding the etymology of the words “pistol” and “revolver”. The scientifically systematized material presented in the article can be useful for specialists, historians and museologists, and at the same time will be interesting and informative for a wide range of readers.

In the museum setting, various forms of data – written, visual, material, or digital – are pivotal for the preservation and display of cultural heritage. This research focuses on interpreting data as intangible elements within the museum environment, enveloping the exhibited or archived tangible objects. By referencing Arjun Appadurai’s concept of “thing” and its application to “data”, the study investigates how this data influences our perception and engagement with museum artifacts. Through a specific case study centered on an ethnographical photo collection, the research underscores the dynamic relationship between tangible objects and the intangible data that contextualizes and enhances our encounters with cultural heritage in museums.

The aim of this article is to point out certain moments in the history of exhibiting the decorative art objects in Bucharest, following the cultural twinning of this space that received both European decorative art and oriental decorative art, as well as the way to develop an authentic decorative art, starting from local tradition. Moreover, the definition of the concept of “decorative” is also discussed, which has varied and still varies today in meaning. The article traces the emergence and metamorphosis of this type of art during the existence of museums in the Bucharest cultural-space and brings shades regarding the junction between museum and education space.

The article analyzes the functioning of a document as an object (artefact) in medieval Europe, against the broad background of changes in the paradigm of research on medieval writing culture, which assumes a multitude of forms of contact with writing, including its perception as a system of signs that could be viewed rather than “read” in the modern sense.The physical aspects of the document, including its writing material, text layout on the page, graphic symbols and objects attached to the document, constitute an issue that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional diplomatics. It encourages researchers to engage in a more intensive dialogue with experts in other auxiliary sciences, primarily with experts in epigraphy, because a large number of documents were produced on hard material, and also in sphragistics, due to the close interaction between the document and the seal in the process of communicating by sight and touch. The article discusses the occasional presence of a document in public space – as an element of the rituals of power, shown at the request of its issuer or recipient, or as an object of viewing in the practice of examining its authenticity – as well as its permanent presence in the form of a text “exposed” in a stone or as a fresco (charta lapidaria). In all situations in question, the specialized or very general knowledge of viewers determined whether and to what an extent they were able to “read” the information encoded in the format and material of the document, in graphic signs, illuminations, and seals.

In the collections of the Museum of the Municipality of Bucharest there are 52 documents from the first reign of the first ruler of Wallachia coming from the Suțu family, issued from July 6, 1783 until around March 26, 1786. Soon afterwards, although he was on good terms with the Sublime Porte, Mihai Suțu was replaced by Nicolae Petru Mavrogheni (1786-1790), son of Petru Mavrogheni, consul of Austria in Mykonos.Of the 52 documents, 36 are originals, written on paper, accompanied by later, 19th century, Romanian or modern copies. The other documents were preserved in different manuscripts, such as “The comprehensive cartulary of all old and new estates of Agești and Dărmănești ...”, “Cartulary of special royal deeds and books that were made in the treasuries of your great treasurer Ianache Văcărescu ...” and “Cartulary of records regarding the Sinești estates, ..., houses, places and shops in Bucharest and Târgoviște, mills, gypsies owned by the family of doctor Constantin Darvari, between the years 1699-1841”.Among these documents, are noteworthy the orders given by the ruler of Wallachia to the great boyars to investigate the border disputes between different owners. One document refers to the lord's son, Grigore (Grigorașco, Grigorie) beizadea, married to Sevastia Dudescu, “one of the noble daughters of the land”, who was exempted from paying some taxes. The contribution to the improvement of the city's water supply system, for the “use, satisfaction and adornment of the police and all the public”, was rewarded by the ruler by granting “two measures of water” to Scarlat Greceanu great chancellor.The catalogue also comprises documents issued by the great boyars, following complaints related to various issues, lists of various assets, as well as a document sanctioned “with a fearful curse and terrible expletive” by archbishop Grigorie II, the Metropolitan of Wallachia.
