Un cărturar de la sfârşitul Evului Mediu: Cazul lui Grigore Ţamblac
A Scholar from the dawn of the Middle Ages: The case of Grigore Ţamblac

Summary/Abstract: During the medieval epoch and the pre-modern period the history of the Romanian population has been deeply marked by the contacts established with the Slavs and materialized in political, cultural, onfessional and linguistic influences of great importance (the cultural transfer consisting of habits, beliefs and institutions as well as the use of the Slavonic language within Church and chancellery). Apart from archaeology or linguistics as means used in studying the history of the Slavic-Romanian contacts, a major role is played by the cultural dimension through the preoccupation for Slavonism as cultural phenomenon, for its ways of expression and also for its contributions to the development of the Romanian culture. Initially the Slavonic language has been used within Church, but it has been adopted also in the literary field and within the chancellery. One must admit the contacts established between the educated monks and bishops coming from the Romanian lands and the Serbians and the Bulgarians. The Serbian and the Bulgarian manuscripts have been copied in the Orthodox Romanian monasteries, which lead to the spread of an incipient Romanian literature. After the Ottoman advance in the Balkans, a series of educated persons coming Serbia and Bulgaria have moved forward the Romanian lands, of which one must mention the figure of Gregory Camblak.
