Abstract

Abstract: This article is about the library which Mavrocordatos family created. It refers to all three of its branches: Constantinople, Chios, and Văcăreşti, but focuses especially on the latter. The library within the monastery near Bucharest was one of the most complete of its day, and it was well known even in the West. Some of its content is presented in my text, including its various catalogues; the scholars who worked on these compilations will also be mentioned. A project similar in its scope – the reconstitution of a library – has been realized with respect to the library of Peter Mohyla in Kiev. Key words: books, Mavrocordatos family, Văcăreşti, Chios, the Danubian Principalities
