Consideraţii despre circulaţia cărţilor în spaţiul estic românesc (sec. XVII–XIX)
Considerations Regarding the Spreading of the Books in the Romanian Eastern Area (17th – 19th Centuries)

Summary/Abstract: The concern of the scientists to study the old books from the libraries in the Republic of Moldova shows a large number of preserved titles and copies. Valentina Pelin, Maria Danilov, Igor Cereteu, to mention only the best known and prolific researchers in this field, revealed the published Romanian books from the public libraries. So it was proved that the majority of the books spread in the Eastern area were printed in București, Iași, Râmnic, Mănăstirea Neamț, Buda and in other places from Țara Românească or Transilvania but, especially, they were published in the Confessional Printing House in Chișinău. The libraries of the parish churches and monasteries are true custodians of the cult books, which ensured the uninterrupted using of the Romanian language in church. The notes on these books have new data, testimonies of the history of the Romanian culture in Basarabia, of economic and social history and, particularly, of the continuity of the spoken and written Romanian language in the 19 th century, under foreign domination. Under the aegis of the Romanian Academy, în the Series Basarabica and Documenta Basarabiae valuable documentary contributions to revealing the history of Basarabia are published.
