"A team of researchers in Romania has discovered over 200 books and manuscripts
in a church in Mediaș. It includes dozens of early printed works and manuscript
fragments dating back to as early as the 9th century.
The research team, led by Adinel C. Dincă of Babeș-Bolyai University, found the
cache in the Ropemakers’ Tower of St. Margaret’s Church in Mediaș, a town in
central Romania. Biblioteca Batthyaneum, a branch of the National Library of
Romania, announced the discovery on its Facebook page earlier this month. They
reported that the find included 139 printed books dating to between 1470 and
1600, two manuscripts from the early 16th century and about sixty more charters
and other documents dating to between the 14th and 16th centuries. Furthermore,
they found several manuscripts fragments that were kept inside parish records,
the earliest of which is from the Caroliginian era and may date back to as
early as the 9th century."
