Carte de învăţături creştineşti, editată de Ioan Bob, partea a treia, Blaj, 1805. Analiza generală a volumului şi informaţii despre exemplarul din Muzeul Spiritualităţii Româneşti, Sfântu Gheorghe

  • Subiect: In 2013 the cultural project “Digitizing ancient and bibliophile books from 1st Orthodox Parish from Sfântu Gheorghe” was developed with funding from the National Cultural Fund Administration. Activities were held at the Museum of Romanian Spirituality. During the project 100 books were analysed and the project may be continued by other, similar projects, the fund being much more consistent. On this occasion some books were remarkable by the fact that several priests and parish clerks wrote impressions or just made signatures on these volumes. For the present paper we studied one of the most important volumes from the collection. The volume was published in Blaj, in 1805, and contains teachings for the priests on different occasions. The full title of the volume is a long one: “Christian teachings about vanity of the world, and the duty of man from each state from the holy writings gathered, and hardened on short for an easier understanding and advantage on Romanian tongue, settled by the holy and illuminated Sir his Excellency Ioan Bob, bishop of Făgăraş and inward counsellor of His Imperial and Royal Highness.” The book was published in three different volumes, from which by the present time we found just the 3rd volume. The preservation state of the copy is fair. These volumes were intended to explain Greek-Catholic dogma and moral theology. It actually proposed a behavioural model promoting asceticism, of monastic inspiration. The book addresses the Greek-Catholic clergy, proposing behavioural code in the community. Some of the most important information on this volume is historical ones. The book is a valuable documentary source providing information about the parishes where that volume was used. Handwritten notes on the copy containing the names of the priests, of an archpriest, and even the name of the faithful from the parishes where the book was used, provide information that fills in the knowledge regarding the deanery from Poian and about Greek-Catholic priests from Lisnău, Ghidfalău şi Arcuş. We presented the handwritten notes on the copy. Unfortunately some letters were deleted over time, while in other places the writing was illegible. All the recovered elements and texts were analysed. Besides the priest’s information, some handwritten notes present traditional means for the treatment of pain. None of the texts with remedies is dated or signed, but judging from the embodiment of the letters, the alphabet used and the Romanian language used, all three notes date from the 19th century.
