Documente din Rășinari (sec. XIV-XVIII). Traducerea în latină (după 1761) a cărții ocolniță (1488) și a extrasului actului de danie (1383)
Records from Rășinari (14th-18th Centuries). The Latin Translation (after 1761) of the ”Cartea Ocolniță” (1488) and of the Extract from the Deed of Donation (1383)

Summary/Abstract: The trial deeds of the village of Rășinari against the Magistrate (Council) of the city of Sibiu were included in the volume of Transmissionales in Causa Possessionis Resinar contra Liberam Regiamque Civitatem Cibiniensem 1784, 1.318 pages. The comprehensive annexes of this volume, which contain all the documents that were significant for the history and possessory rights of Rășinari, start with the translation from „Wallachian” (Romanian) into Latin of two documents, that in the 18th century were considered to have a founding value: 1) cartea ocolniță of 1488, describing the reambulatio of the village boundaries between Rășinari and Cisnădie, „the big neighbours”; 2) the extract from an act of donation from 1383, when certain estates were donated to the Saint Paraschiva’s Church of Rășinari. Our debate concerns the Latin version of both Romanian documents, as well as the importance granted in the 18 th century to these documents, that were used during the above mentioned process.Our edition of documents, published ‒ most of them ‒ for the first time in Latin transcription and Romanian translation, includes, besides those mentioned from 1488 and 1383, further important trial deeds, imperial diplomas, remissional and transmissional letters, tables and conscriptions, ending with the summary index of the volume Transmissionales from Rășinari.The documentary annexes of this edition comprise the following documents:1.1.
