Cultural Relations between Wallachia and Transylvania in the Age of Matei Basarab and Rákóczy Princes

  • TITLU în română: Relaţiile culturale dintre Ţara Românească şi Transilvania în epoca lui Matei Basarab şi a prinţilor Rákóczy
  • Subiect: In this article we aim to highlight the efforts made by Prince Matei Basarab to constantly support the spiritual life of the Romanians in Transylvania. The Wallachian ruler and the Wallachian Church were astutely and efficiently involved in the cultural work of the prelates in Transylvania and in their attempts to withstand, with mere minor concessions, the Calvinist propaganda and to exploit the cultural facilities it offered for the benefit of their own faith. Promoting such a cultural program, Matei Basarab avoided worsening his relations with the Transylvanian Principality on account of his cultural relations with the Romanians in Transylvania and achieved the very opposite: taking advantage of his political alliance with Princes George I Rákóczy and George II Rákóczy, he was able to successfully support the ethnic and religious identity of the Romanians across the Carpathians.
