Summary/Abstract: In the rich collection of antimensia of the Museum of the Orthodox Metropolis of Cluj, the antimensia of Saint Hierarch Andrei Şaguna hold an important place. The twenty-seven pieces provide special information on the historical development of the Diocese of Sibiu and, implicitly, of the above-mentioned Transylvanian hierarch. Starting with the ‘classic’ antimensia of 1848 and 1850/52 and continuing with those of 1857 or 1873, in which the title of baron is mentioned, these objects transpose an entire liturgical, ethnic and cultural universe onto a small piece of cloth.
