| description | The paper discusses the reception of Johann Hübner’s popular textbook of geography (first edition, 1693) in the Romanian culture of the 18th century. Its main influence was exerted through a Latin adaptation used in the Jesuit universities of the Habsburg empire, Geographica globi terraquei synopsis (various editions from 1720 to 1755). The history of this book, its sources and its use as liber gradualis are discussed here for the first time. The question of the translator-cum-compiler remains open to research, but the most probable candidate is the professor associated with its first publication, Franz Gross. Its chapter on Moldavia is here identified as the source of one of the addenda to the first handbook of geography printed in Romanian. Published in 1795, De obște gheográfie concluded a tradition of manuscript textbooks, to which it belonged itself for about two decades. Geographica globi terraquei synopsis could have been also used in other chapters of the book – a theme for further research. The fact that De obște gheográfie is based on the work of another Jesuit, Claude Buffier, might not be a coincidence. Its compiler, the Orthodox bishop (en titre) Amphilochius of Hotin, who travelled – and, supposedly, studied – in Italy, could have been in contact with the milieus of the Societas Jesu: Jesuits from Russia, former Jesuits or students of Jesuit schools. This possibility is proposed as another theme for future research. |
