Grigorescu, Felicia: Forme de artă în cimitire evreieşti din nord-vestul Romaniei (Satu Mare, 2013)

Glosar de termeni

Researches in the field of Jewish ornaments and symbolics have been made by ethnologist Paul Petrescu, of whose works we mention: Jewish worship objects from Romania and History and symbolics in popular art of the Jews in Romania.

At the beginning of the 20th century, studies on Jewish civilization and art were almost non-existent in Romania. From the second half of the 20th century the situation has changed, because of some new works that laid the foundations of Romanian research in this field. The start of the third millennium has proved itself a prolific one for both domestic and foreign specialists, who broaden their research area through synthesis that includes Romania. Let us mention here the Romanian Jews, which afterwards moved abroad, whose interest, is still alive for the old Romanian Jewish society. The future remains an open gate to new references archival or even archaeological discoveries that could contribute to a deeper knowledge of the Jewish art, of received influences on the one hand, and of those applied, on the other hand, from and on the context in which it was expressed.
