Memoria documentelor Bibliotecii Astra: Mihai Viteazul

  • Subiect: The memory of the Documents at Astra library: Michael the Brave Having become a symbol of the idea of national unity, Michael the Brave's fame goes beyond the confines of national acknowledgement, reaching European dimensions. At call number S II 1227 in the Foreign Old Book compartment at Astra Library one can find Joannis Bisselii's work, Aetatis Nostrae Gestorum Eminentium Medulla Historica ... (Ambergae, 1675). On the back of the title page we find information regarding its source and the date when it entered our library's collections, and we read Al. Papiu Ilarian' s autographed dedication written in black ink. As evinced by the information on the title page, the historical period dealt with is 1601 - 1607. Having the dimensions 16/9.3 cm., the work contains 556 pages, is written in Latin, German and Greek, it has seven illustrations, and the binding is parchment. Pages 53 through 166 are exclusively dedicated to the Romanian ruler, a portrait, and at the end of the book there is an Index (pp. 548 - 553), which gives a chronological ordering to the events heretofore enumerated in a rather narrative manner. The account of his military feats, framed in the European context, of his relations and intentions, of his defeats as well as of his victories, supplemented with geographic details, confer this book the status of a rather unusual work and therefore the more appreciated for its value.
