Summary/Abstract: Our article presents the little known so-called Rațiu collection of documents from the years 1850– 1877 regarding the death of the Romanian hero Avram Iancu. The documents were donated in 2015 by Indrei Rațiu to the Lucian Blaga Central University Library in Cluj-Napoca. They are valuable legal historical documents regarding the testaments of Avram Iancu (1824–1872) and of his father, Alesandru Iancu (1797–1855), as well as their trials for succession. The documents were written mostly in the Romanian language with Cyrillic and Latin letters, but inserts and documents in German and Hungarian were also added.
