An Early Modern noble residence","authors":"Letiția Cosnean","doi":"10.47950/caieteara.2013.4.09","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47950/caieteara.2013.4.09","url":null,"abstract":"Building works on the Bolyai noble court (Buia village, county of Sibiu) was carried out in different phases over more than four centuries. Based mainly on the archival and historical sources, specialists have suggested several hypotheses regarding the patronage and the phases of constructions of the noble court. A small fragment of vividly coloured wall painting preserved on the south-eastern side of the polygonal chapel’s chancel indicated the existence of the chapel in the medieval period. This had shaped the general idea that the noble court developed gradually around the existing medieval chapel. Nevertheless, little information is available regarding the architectural configuration of the noble court between the yet unknown founding date of the chapel and the middle of the 17th century. The present article, based mainly on the direct analysis of the ruins, aims at reconsidering the building’s relative chronology and providing a critical evaluation of the monument. Three unpublished architectural surveys found in different archives (i.e. National Institute of Heritage – Bucharest, “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urban Planning – Bucharest, and KÖH Archive – Budapest) proved valuable sources in the hypothetical reconstruction of the monument’s architectural configuration during the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period (14th - 17th centuries). The study also includes a catalogue of seven limestone blocks incorporated in the castle’s masonry - spolia and of a limestone door frame preserved in situ. The comparison of their dimensions and moulding characteristics indicated further elements of chronological dating, meanwhile allowing several reconstruction hypotheses of doors and windows frames. Moreover, starting from a brief account of the social life of its founders, the study illustrates the relation between elements of social identity and the architectural features of the noble residence.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

The intervention took place as part of the efforts of the Greek Catholic Church of Romania to beatify said bishop, who, from a Christian perspective, died a martyr’s death: he was arrested in 1948 by the Securitate (the Romanian secret police under communism), tortured and pressured into renouncing his faith. The inventory items discovered (fragments of clothing, a collar), the stature of the deceased as computed using anthropological analysis (and in keeping with witness statements), as well as circumstancial evidence confirms the oral testimony relating to the site of the bishop’s burial. Among the material used to fill the grave we found many coins as well as a glass phial with a metal lid containing some strands of hair and a slip of paper containing a prayer for the lifting of curses. The coins and phial, together with the candles from the grave, represent the material expression of the homage and prayers offered up by the faithful to the bishop. The results of our archaeological research rendered material expression to the relationship existing between the bishop’s remains and the faithful, confirming the fact that, long before the Romanian Greek Catholic Church began considering the bishop for beatification, some people had already begun honouring him as a saint of their own accord.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

It is argued that, although ignored so far, the analysis of the excavated earth is essential for an archaeological understanding of the landscape and may lead to some important reconsiderations: (1) the excavated earth represents the main material element of the Canal and (2) it pleads for the rethinking of the concept of monument, related to its meanings in the current legislation regarding the protection of the archaeological heritage in Romania.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

The dating of the monuments is ranging from prehistory to the eleventh century. In two recently published papers, the subject of the linear fortifications from Central Dobrudja is again discussed. And, if in the first one, leaving open the possibility of dating, the author inclines rather towards the construction of all of them in the post-Roman era, in the second one, arguments are brought for dating two of them during the Roman era. It is not our intention here to revisit the entire dossier related to the walls, but just to make some comments concerning their existence in the Roman era and the relationship between them and the configuration of the Roman landscape, based on the available data.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.
