He considers that „there was a Romanian cultural atmosphere” and the Romanian ancient books were very well received in this area. However, this culturalisation was closely connected to Romanian churches and monasteries and their activity. According to his researches, the major part of the books found in Szeckler territories were published at Sibiu. It is also known that the Romanian provinces used to provide the necessary books for Transylvania and their supply stopped when the Transylvanian printing houses were able to get through.
