Vespasian Erbiceanu: Family, Education and the Beginning of his Magistrat Career – an Advocacy of a Monography

Vespasian Erbiceanu, an erudite magistrate, an excellent connoisseur of Russian law and of the locale Bessarabian norms, distinguished himself by contributing scientifically to the legal science of Romania, but especially through his activity within the framework of Bessarabian justice during 1918-1923. The issue of the Bessarabian justice reform, of the unification and nationalization of the legislation in this province has concerned him during the most important part of his life, from the perspective of the activity set up in Chişinău, as well as from the perspective of the analyst and of the dogmatic. The subject is almost unknown in the respective field of study. The present article proposes to realize a
bibliographic draft of Erbiceanu in the first period of his life, insisting upon the education he received and upon his first activity years in magistracy.

Personalities of universal economic thought. A medallion of Jean Jaurès, the adherent of peace

War, which marked so often and so hard Europe’s and the world’s evolution in the last one and a half century, has required a very high price, in all fields. What about negotiations, peace? It is much cheaper. But not just from this point of view, also from the human perspective there were some “peace apostles”. Among them was the French Jean Jaures. What were his ideas and theories, what did he achieved and what are the reverberation of it today? This are questions which will be debated in this present study.

Interpretations of corporeality in the digital culture

This paper focuses on the ways in which text and corporeality interfere in computer-mediated communication, especially in the first stages of the development of the Internet. The idea of disconnecting the body from the subject represented a strong point of the ideology associated with New Media. The Internet has been considered a cultural mediator through which the differences that segregated humanity could be overcome, the central theme of this utopia being the apparent lack of corporeality in the digital communicational exchanges. In fact, the discourses that contain the idea of becoming free from our bodies “mobilize” the whole Western tradition of conceptual oppositions. The computer-mediated communication, especially the one based on text, was a proper environment for the re-assertion of the Cartesian ideal of the “pure mind”. Thus, the vocabulary of the emancipatory rhetoric of technology and the imaginary that the disembodiment had created are researched.

Personalities of Romanian Bibliologists. 150 Years of Romanian Philological an Biblioteconomical Education.

Romanian library science school alongside with philological university education celebrates 150 years of existence. Great personalities of the Romanian culture like Ioan Bianu, Nerva Hodoş, Nicolae Georgescu Tistu, Dan Simonescu, Mircea Tomescu, Cornelui Dima Drăgan, Gheorghe Buluţă, Mircea Regneală contributed to the affirmation of the library science domain as an academic and research domain in the Romanian space. We are trying with this article to bring them again into the attention of the philological public and to mention their fundamental works which are basic works in the specialized bibliographies.

Typography in Sibiu after 1800

Following the death, in 1789 and in 1801, respectively, of the two great figures of typography in Sibiu, Martin Hochmeister and Petrus Barth, their companies are taken over by the sons. Although the rivalry between the two “houses” still persists, it becomes less dramatic, thanks of a gradual specialization brought about by the two leaders’ options. While Hochmeister specializes in German books, Barth keeps on with and extends Cyrillic typography. Recently uncovered documents allow us to gauge the real dimensions of Barth’s printing house’s activity, whose products reach the remotest corners of the Romanian-inhabited space.

A juristic writing from the beginning of the 19th century

In 1805, the young lawyer and literate Vasile Aaron compiled a legal guidebook to be used by the councils of Romanian “Eastern law” churches in Transylvania. The author’s intention was clearly to publish his work, as proven by the word “booklet” which he used to describe it in his address To the Readership (dated October 1st, 1805) and by further information provided by a 1806 letter written by Samuil Micu. However, sharing the fate of many writings of that era, the work was never printed and circulated in form of hand-written copies. Although Aaron’s work has been reported as extant and in use in 1868, at the National Orthodox Congress in Sibiu, studies on canon law and histories of Romanian law both failed to capitalize this information. The work made a timid entrance into scientific circles in 1941, when Professor Semproniu Lupaş described a copy carried out in 1843 by an archpriest in Apoldu de Sus, near Sibiu. However, beyond having its title mentioned along with the rest of Aaron’s works, the manuscript never benefitted from a substantial analysis of its contents. According to Semproniu Lupaş, Vasile Aaron was “the first author of a juristic work written in Romanian language”. Nevertheless, his work was not merely a legal guidebook for church consistories. The “Praxis of church councils”, as it has come to be known, provided Romanian clergy for decades in as row with information and know-how regarding the jurisdictional system in the Principality of Transylvania and the various procedures to be followed during a lawsuit. Also, Aaron’s pioneering work contributed significantly to the formation of a Romanian legal language. Beyond the technical aspects, the “Praxis” is a valuable information source regarding its time and people, allowing today´s researchers to get a deeper understanding of the vast and complex area covered by the actions of the Transylvanian school “enlighteners”.
