Un document inedit referitor la obştea monahală Răciula, anul 1901
An unknown document from 1901 related to the Račula monastic community

Summary/Abstract: The study is a systematic analysis of a previously unstudied document found in the National Archives Agency. The source describes the monastic community of the Račula Hermitage in 1901. The main line of the presented analysis is to study the document and determine its importance for revealing new information about the monastic community of Račula. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the document contains data not reflected in other sources of the same period: the number of nuns, their level of education, marital status, positions held by some nuns in the community. The fact that 46 out of 71 nuns were virgins emphasizes their spiritual and physical dedication to the Church and faith. Also important is the section containing data from the personal files of the novices, from which one can find out whether any of them had problems with the law and what kind of problems they had.
