Un manuscris despre slujitorii catedralei Naşterеa Domnului din Chişinău din perioada 1840- 1851
A manuscript about clergymen of the Nativity Cathedral in Chişinău during 1840-1851

Summary/Abstract: In the library of the Monastery of Saint Theodore Tyron in Chisinau we found a manuscript entitled "Register of the Clergy of the Nativity Cathedral in Chisinau", which contains a lot of information about the clergymen of the cathedral during 1840-1851. The manuscript is written in Russian and covers 1840, 1843, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1850, and 1851. Based on these data, we find that most of the representatives of the clergy of the Nativity Cathedral were not local people, but came from Kiev, Podolia, and Kherson provinces of the Russian Empire. Of the local natives there were accepted only those who knew Russian well enough, because church services in this temple were held only in Russian.
