Sf. Antim Ivireanul şi Sf. Constantin Brâncoveanu
St. Anthim the Iberian and St. Constantin Brancoveanu

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the role of the saints Anthim the Iberian and Constantin Brancoveanu in an era severely tested. Constantin Brancoveanu has assumed the role of devoted prince, protector of the books and printings and founder of many churches in Wallachia and Transylvania, where help was needed to maintain orthodoxy, especially through printed books and support given to churches, to halt Uniatism. In Constantinople, Constantin Brancoveanu met the talented Andrew the Iberian and, as suggested by the patriarch Chrysanthos Notara, good friend of the Romanian culture and civilization, he hires the worthy and talented Iberian Andrew, later known as Anthim the Iberian. St. Anthim will become a great typographer, a great scholar and a great servant of the Church in Wallachia. The two saints also had some misunderstandings caused by defamations.
