The Long Reformation at the Micro Level and from a Regional Perspective: On a new text of the Romanian Reformation in the Hațeg Region

Abstract

The study examines the issue of the long Reformation in a manuscript that originated in the late 17th century, the first decades of the 18th century. The manuscript is the product of the Reformation in Romania, whose linguistic and regional peculiarities are at least as important as its lay and occasional nature: we have not discovered another source that documents communal but not ecclesiastical, individual, but not solitary religious piety. We hereby undertake the micro- level analysis of this document.
