The exhibited necklace of beads originates from Funerary Complex No. 6 of Kurgan No. 4, excavated in 1982 by Dr. Habil. Eugen SAVA near the town of Taraclia. The beads were found in the chest area of the deceased, indicating that they had been worn as a necklace and had remained in their original position within the funerary assemblage. The necklace consists of 11 elements made entirely of Egyptian faience. Eight of the beads are spherical and decorated with vertical incisions forming between 14 and 21 raised ribs. Their diameters range from 13 to 20 mm. Two additional elements are scarab representations measuring 23.5 × 19.5 mm, while the final component is a flattened cylindrical pendant bead featuring a central vertical groove and measuring 22 × 9 mm. The objects range in color from light blue to dark blue and violet hues, reflecting the natural deterioration and glaze variations characteristic of Egyptian faience. Egyptian faience is an artificial quartz-based material coated with an alkaline glaze, typically blue or blue-green in color. It was widely used in Ancient Egypt and later spread throughout the Mediterranean and Pontic regions through trade networks. During the first centuries AD, such objects served as important indicators of cultural and economic contacts between the Mediterranean world and the communities of the North Pontic region. Owing to its typological, technological, and symbolic characteristics, the Taraclia necklace is an exceptionally valuable artifact for the study of intercultural relations, the circulation of prestige goods, and the funerary practices of the Sarmatian communities during the first centuries AD (1st-2nd centuries AD).
De l’histoire de la recherche du livre ancien dans la Bucovine historique (à 500 ans de l’imprimation du premier livre sur le territoire de la Roumanie)
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. III [XVIII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
Le texte de la communication présente des moments importants de l’évolution de la recherche du livre ancien dans la Bucovine historique, région dans laquelle a existé un intérêt constant à cet égard.
Les premières informations sur la présence des manuscrits et des livres anciens dans les plus célèbres monastères appartiennent à l’éditeur de documents F. A. Wickenhauser, tout en commençant avec l’année 1862 (La majorité de ses écritures ont été rééditées sous le titre: Molda Oder Beiträge zur Geschichte der Moldau und Bukovina, I-II/1-2, III/1-2, IV/1-2, V/1-2, Cernăuți, 1881-1891). Les plus récentes contributions dans la valorisation du livre ancien sont, en principal, les catalogues publiés par l’auteur de la communication ci-jointe (Cartea românească veche în județul Suceava. Catalog // Le livre roumain ancien dans le département de Suceava. Catalogue, Suceava, 2005; Catalogul manuscriselor slavo-române din Biblioteca Mănăstirii Sucevița // Le catalogue des manuscrits slavo-roumains de la Bibliothèque du Monastère Sucevița, Suceava, 1999; Manuscrise românești din Moldova. Catalog. Vol. I-II // Manuscrits roumains de la Moldavie. Catalogue, Iași, 2006-2007).
Des noms y mentionnés et associés avec des contributions importantes, nous rappelons: l’évêque Melchisedec Ştefănescu, Simion Florea Marian, Dimitrie Dan, Emil Turdeanu, Paulin Popescu, Ioan Zugrav, G. Popescu-Vâlcea. A l’avenir, nous avons l’intention de continuer l’activité de cataloguer les manuscrits slavo-roumains; la nécessité de l’existence d’un catalogue du livre slavon présent dans cette région s’impose, aussi (celui-ci imprimé à: Zabludou, Lvov, Kiev, Vilnius, Cernigov, Poceaev, Moscou), en spécial pour le contenu des notes marginales.
