The Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur’s Archive Kept at the Batthyaneum Library (I)

Summary/Abstract: The places of authentication are one of the most important types of institution of Medieval Hungary in the issuing of charters. The archives of these institutions are an essential source for understanding the past, because they comprise many documents issued by the secular and ecclesiastical courts referring to various subjects. One of these institutions is the Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur. The Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur’s archive is kept partly at the Batthyaneum Library, in Alba Iulia, Romania, and another part is kept at the Hungarian National Archives, in Budapest. The present study contains inventory of medieval charters (thirteenth-fourteenth centuries) from the Convent of Cluj-Mănăștur’s archive, kept at the Batthyaneum Library. The main aim of this study is to facilitate the access of researchers to the original charters from the Batthyaneum Library by making a correspondence between the reference codes of the Batthyaneum Library and the Hungarian National Archives.
