ON THE EDITING OF A „MOLDAVIAN NUMISMATIC LEXICON (1359-1859)” (I)

Summary/Abstract: For the research of the numismatic finds identified on the territory of Moldavia – country whose history is delimited by the beginning of the Golden Horde’s decline, together with the change of the local dynastic lineage by Bogdan who founded the voievodate of Moldavia, and, respectively, the union of the two Romanian principalities at mid 19th century – the specialist must use specific investigation means, such as numismatic text books, treatises and studies, usual determinators and collection catalogues, dictionaries and thematic lexicons. These work instruments were elaborated on the basis of the repertoire of numerous discoveries and the study of great numismatic collections from abroad. Unfortunately, Romanian historiography has been increasingly facing the need of a Repertoire of Numismatic Finds in the last decades. Whatever the epoch or the collections in which they are preserved, ancient, Byzantine, medieval or modern emissions are waiting for being published in a Corpus, which has not exceeded the project phase since almost half a century.
