Religious Superstitions in the Pre-modern Romanian Society – Social Solidarity, Piety or the Distortion of Faith?

Summary/Abstract: Our study deals with a controversial aspect of the religious life of the pre-modern Romanian society. Certain religious beliefs were considered superstitions by some people, while others took them as proofs of piety. In our analysis, we availed of the notes of some foreign travellers, of the Romanian chronics and of other religious texts. We concluded that the approach of the problem should consider the perspective of the epoch under scrutiny.
