Continuing the work on the Putna School of Medieval Chant

The research started over 30 years ago by the team made up of Dr. Gheorghe Ciobanu, Marin Ionescu, Dr. Grigore Panţiru, and Titus Moisescu materialized in a whole series of monographs published on the Putna School, which constitute a sound basis for carrying the reasearch work further.

Here you can see the list of Putna School manuscripts.
