Biserica şi „Mănăstirea” ortodoxă din Cluj-Mănăştur, cea mai veche vatră eclesială românească de pe raza municipiului Cluj-Napoca. Întregiri documentare din secolul al XVII-lea
The Orthodox Church and “Monastery” from Cluj-Mănăştur, the oldest Romanian ecclesiastical hearth in the area of Cluj-Napoca. Documentary completions from the 17th century

Summary/Abstract: The Church on the Hill, dedicated to the Holy Trinity (1796) is the oldest Orthodox place of worship in Cluj. However, the parish of this church is not the oldest Romanian Orthodox ecclesial community documented on today’s surface of the city. Administratively incorporated in the city of Cluj in 1894, the village of Cluj-Manastur has a thousand-year history, including the Romanian wooden church here, existing in 1656 and rectified in the last three decades of the seventeenth century by two Greeks merchants from Macedonia. In this study we insisted on the history of this church, also called monastery, translating into Romanian and commenting on an original document, preserved in the State Archives of Cluj, issued by Metropolitan Teofil Seremi, on June 17, 1696, by which the Transylvanian hierarch recognized the Greek merchants from Macedonia, Paul and Gheorghe Christoph, as the founders of the Cluj-Mănăştur monastery.
