Remembrance in Time
I. About the site, buildings and exemptions of the Romanian school.
1. The Romanian school is located next to the Hungarian school for its great service
and that it can be easily inspected, for Romanian learners to learn Hungarian, for they
can easily learn the Hungarian and Latin, and vice-versa, the Hungarian learners to
learn how to speak and write in Romanian.
2. Romanians should have a special house both for teachers and for learners, and an
auditorium and a separate courtyard, where through a common door can meet people
who are obliged to live in harmony with one another or they will be punished by the
masters. The exemption should be the same for the Hungarian school.
II. About the Romanian master (teacher).
1. He should be a taught person coming from the Hungarian Reformed schools, a man
of real science who can write and speak Romanian very well.
2. His position and his service is stated by the Lord of Fagaras, as a high governor, or
by the Ministry or the consistory of Fagaras. He should always be under their
obedience.
3. Firstly, he should teach both the old and young the Romanian ABC, using the same
letters to teach them how to write Romanian, especially to make them read the New
Testament, the Psalter and the Catechism, printed in Alba Iulia, and aftewards or in the
meanwhile to teach them in Romanian the Catechetica Capita (the ends of Catechism),
Our Father, Apostles Creed, the 10 commandments, the mystery of baptism and church
discipline canons....
4. He should teach at least as many hours as the Hungarian master.
5. He must have a good correspondence with the Hungarian master, as friends of the
same dominion and both live in harmony together with students for that neither the
Hungarians nor the Romanians do not have any offense. Otherwise, masters or
magistrates should punish them, or they will fall under heavy censorship ....
…
8. A master (teacher) in Romanian will not be send to villages until he knows very well
to write and read in Romanian, to sing and learn the Catechism which he will
demonstrate and prove during regular examinations to the satisfaction of visitors and
inspectors otherwise he will be punished and his salary according will be diminished
according to the magistrate’s order
III. About learners and other disciples.
1. Leranres all over the land of Fagaras are bound to come from everywhere and learn
Romanian in this school in Fagaras, otherwise they will be removed and declared serfs
again .....
6. Those who will miss the lessons without the knowledge of their masters will not
receive bread.
….
11. Those leraners, who are well accustomed to learning, can preach, even while they
are still in school, in the Romanian church in Fagaras and villages, especially on
Sundays and public holidays, even on other occasions, when they have time-this is to get
used to preaching. This will happen only with the the Archpriest’s consent...
IV. About school inspectors.
1. School inspectors are primarily governors (priests) from Fagaras, then 2-3
Consistory inspectors, who know well Romanian and together with 2 of the most learned
nobles and Romanian ministers.
