Contextul și cronologia schimbării sigiliului conventual al abației benedictine de la Cluj-Mănăștur la finele secolului al XIV-lea
The context and chronology regarding the change of the conventual seal belonging to the Benedictine abbey of Cluj-Mănăștur at the end of the 14th century

Summary/Abstract: The present paper wishes to establish the chronologic and explanatory coordinates regarding the change of the first round seal belonging to the convent of Cluj-Mănăștur with one of a similar shape yet minimal differences, a procedure which took part during the year 1383. Determined by the discovery of several documentary falsification practices, the seal replacement took place fairly quickly, within only three and a half months, so that the activity of this place of authentication could be resumed with celerity. Starting from several original charters, kept in the collections of the national archives of Romania and Hungary, the present study marks therefore the temporal circumstances that determined this change, as well as the basis for the compositional structuring of the new conventual seal.
