Lyubomir Miletich, a distinguished Bulgarian philologist and historian around 1895, studied some documents from the archives of Brasov and the Black Church, among them Radu Tempea's History of the Holy Church in Şcheii Brasov. The conclusion drawn by Miletich was that the Romanians from Șchei were Bulgarian colonists and that the Bulgarian language was maintained until the century. XVIII.
Among the documents researched by Miletich is the Chronicle of Radu Tempea from 1742, where he states that the Bulgarians came to Brasov in 1392, the year that coincides with the fall of the Kingdom of Tarnovo, stating that this "history" does not say why they settled Bulgarians in Brasov. Miletich also notes that in 1484 the Bulgarians already had their own church, which was made of wood.
The history of the holy church of Șcheilor, by Radu Tempea, presents the most important events that took place in the Romanian church between 1484 and 1742.
Historians and archaeological excavations tell us that in the area there were a number of fortresses such as the Răcădău fortress, the Roman camp followed by the Șprenghi fortress, around which there was a continuous habitation. Near Șprenghi, there was a Dacian Citadel between the Central Cemetery and Stupini village, outside the Bartolomeu neighborhood (IV-III and H centuries), the Pietrele lui Solomon Citadel (II century BC) with 6-meter thick walls used as a place of refuge for the locals in the area in case of attack. The fortress was part of the kingdom of Oroles, Burebista's predecessor.
According to Hungarian documents from 1023 - The first news about the rural administration of Brașov comes from 1288, when the Barcaság county is mentioned - the Land of Barsei, made up of Hungarian, Szekler, Saxon and Romanian nobles, as stated by Zsigmond Jakó in the Archives of Transylvania, period 1023- 1300.
Brașov took shape as a settlement immediately after the year 1200 when the inhabitants of the Bartolomeu area, settled in the west of the Roman fort on the Șprenghi hill, began to move to a higher place, protected from floods and raiders but located near the road of the chariots that passed through the settlement of Cătun under Tâmpa, then through the Pietrele lui Solomon area, continuing to climb towards Poiana, after which they descended to Râșnov from where they headed to the Bran customs house, the Dâmboviței road, to go with the goods to Wallachia.
According to the German author, Thomas Tartler, the Bulgarians were called from Bulgaria to work at the Black Church.
From this fragment we learn that in 1385, when the construction of the Black Church began (documentary evidence indicates the year 1383), for some reasons there was a lack of labor in some sectors, because the markets and villages of Șara Bârsei were at the same time busy with the construction of churches and castles. As there was a shortage of manpower, workers from neighboring provinces were called upon. .
-The so-called Bulgarians from Brașov, came around 1392 as construction workers.
Greek was used in commercial correspondence, but Romanian and even Serbian were also often used. But not Bulgaria.
From what is presented in the donations made to the church, we find many Macedonian-Romanians among the inhabitants of Șchei, however, the greatest financial effort was made by the rulers of Romania and Moldavia, such as Aron Vodă, which is proven by the mentioned chronicles.
The fact that workers from the area, Orthodox Romanians from Șchei and the rest of Brașov's neighborhoods, Aromanians or perhaps even Vlach Bulgarians from the south of the Danube were hired to help build the church, some of them as merchants who dealt with the supply of materials , this does not mean that the church of St. Nicholas was built by the Bulgarians as the scientist Lyubomir Miletich said. there is no such evidence in the documents of the time.
Final conclusions
- Brașov, like the whole of Bârsa, was inhabited by descendants of the Getodaci, before the appearance of German and Hungarian settlers.
-The conclusions of the scientist Lybomir Miletich are based on a limited research at that time because access to a number of documents was not yet possible.
-The so-called Bulgarians who came from south of the Danube were in the great majority speakers of the Romanian language and Orthodox.
-The first and only wooden church in Șcheii Brașov dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, was built by the Orthodox from Șcheii, all of Romanian origin.
-The current stone church dedicated to St. Nicholas was built by the Orthodox from Brașov and its surroundings, helped by donations received from the rulers of Wallachia and Moldova, as well as those close to these rulers.
