Contribution to Modern Romanian Bibliography: Abecedariu romanescu (Romanian Primer) (Blaj, 1870)

Summary/Abstract: The Reference Library „Bethlen Gábor” from Aiud occupies a special place among reference libraries from current Transylvania. Subordinated to the Reformed Eparchy of Transylvania, the library from Aiud houses numerous bibliophile assets on its shelves: manuscripts, incunabula, old printings. A special place is occupied by the Romanian books, both old and modern, a collection encompassing 28 titles (14 old printings and equally modern).Extremely interesting is the copy of Abecedar (Primer) printed in Blaj, in 1870, copy unidentified by specialised bibliographies and tackled in this study. The paper is a contribution to knowledge of the activity of the printing house in the service of the Greek-Catholic Church and schools from Blaj, in the second half of the XIXth century, but also to the cultural history of Transylvania from the remembered period.
