Les relations entre la Valachie (le monastère de Mihai Vodă) et le monastère de Simonopétra du Mont Athos. Des notes préliminaires reprises de l’archive roumaine du monastère de Simonopétra
The relations between Wallachia (the monastery of Mihai Vodă) and the monastery of Simonopetra of Mount Athos. Preliminary notes taken from the Romanian archive of Simonopetra Monastery

Summary/Abstract: Following the publication of the Romanian archive from Simonopetra monastery at Mount Athos, which includes 767 documents, in the Old Slavonic, Romanian and Greek languages, I managed to capture the main aspects of the relations between the Athonite monastery and Wallachia. The monastery of Simonopetra had several subordinated monasteries (metoace) in Wallachia, but the most important was the Mihai Vodă monastery in Bucharest, dedicated by its founder, Mihai Viteazul, ruler of Wallachia (1593-1601). Based on these documents, I wrote in this study a history of the Mihai Vodă monastery, covering the main moments of the life of this place from the foundation until the middle of the nineteenth century, as well as a list of the hegumens, the composition and organization of the domain of the monastery. In addition to the history of this great monastery, we brought to light a lot of new information about the Bolintin monastery, one of the oldest foundations in Wallachia, the St. Nicholas monastery in Bucharest, the foundation of Lady Caplea and Ghiorma Ban, and the history of Bucharest it self.
