- Abstract
In the XVIth and XVIIth centuries, Transylvania was a true binder in history, economics and Romanian culture, linking the ideas of the Humanism, the Reformation and the Enlightenment and all intra- and extra Carpathian area by many Transylvanian young people who studied in the most famous cultural centers of the Western Europe. Certainly, the book was the most powerful link of cultural exchanges between these geographical areas, the late Middle Ages and Early Modern era, thanks to the pioneering editorial work of printing centers such as Sibiu, Brasov, Cluj, Oradea, Alba Iulia. Transylvanian typographies, between 1525 1655, had an intense activity. The 783 books printed in Transylvania, in Latin, Hungarian, German, Greek and even Hebrew, are the evidence of a cultural and spiritual life deep under a continuous development, gradually comprising all the social categories, eager for knowledge and progress.
