Summary/Abstract: In the framework of the acquisition policy of goods with heritage value proposed by the National Museum of Unification Alba Iulia, it has been possible to acquire some remarkable pieces belonging to various categories, from documents to pieces of fine art and old books. The bibliophilic pieces usually relate to Romanian printing, yet European printing products have not been omitted, especially when these are related to the Romanian area. This study tackles the acquisition of two old books from the 18th century which – at one time– were part of the library of the Holy Trinity Monastery in Blaj, a fact revealed by the handwritten bookplates kept on the leaves of the two volumes.
