The study aims to highlight part of the documents issued by Constantin Brâncoveanu, the lord of the Wallachia (1688Wallachia ( -1714, in which he specifies how the Hurezi Monastery was built (the most representative construction in Brancovan style), how it was endowed with the estates, villages, mountains and some customs house duties from Vâlcea, Dolj, Gorj, Mehedinți and Ilfov counties, presenting also the seals that authenticate them, but also different emblems painted on documents and carved in this place of worship located in Vâlcea county, Romania. The church of the monastery also houses the tomb of the ruler, which yet remained un-used, because Constantin Brancoveanu is buried at the church of New Saint George in Bucharest. The monastery was an important cultural center, where the ruler founded the library, which has still remained with the name of "Constantin Brâncoveanu's Library" and which currently holds about 4000 volumes. By the means of sigilography and heraldry, we have described both the seal of the most solemn document given to the monastery and these heraldic compositions, explaining also the significance of the component elements. While designing and documenting the study, I took into account the interest that can raise the seals that validate some documents, but also the emblems painted or sculpted in this monastery, upon specialists, historians and the general public. These heraldic and sigilographic sources can serve to better understand historical phenomena, as well as to identify the figure around which this religious establishment is built and dedicated to. Also, through this study we intend that the heraldry and sigilography should be restored to the important place that is appropriate to them among all the auxiliary disciplines of history.

The study aims to highlight the letter issued by Antim Ivireanul, the metropolitan of the Romanian Country between 1708 and 1716, [15], [14], [24], [5], [18], in which he mentions how the Monastery of All Saints in Bucharest (today called Antim Monastery) was built, to be an example to be followed in a 32-headed settlement, the coat of arms of the above mentioned founder, as well as the heraldic elements painted on the document, or carved in this place of worship in the capital of Romania. For the preparation of the present study we researched the funds of documents located at the Central National Historical Archives and at the Antim Monastery in Bucharest. Regarding the actual description of the different types of coat of arms, we have complied with the heraldic norms and the recommendations of the former International Sigilography Committee. When designing this study, we considered the interest that these heraldic compositions (paintings or sculptures) may present for teachers, pupils, students, as well as for the general public. I considered that in the modernization stage of the instructionaleducational process, heraldic sources can serve to the better understanding of some historical phenomena, especially concerning the marks used during the time of the ancestors, but can also help to decipher the symbols by which the ancestors have expressed aspirations. At the same time, the study constitutes an impetus for the intensification of the actions meant to detect, preserve and introduce these testimonies of the past into the scientific circuit.

ABSTRACT. -Relational Analysis of Susceptibility to Landslides of Settlements Situated in the Eastern and Central Part of Alba Iulia Hinterland, Using GIS Technology and MaxEnt Software. Relational analysis is an important method to analyze, generate and to predict relevant data about natural or men-made hazards. In this study, we have chosen to investigate different relations between landslides and landslide causing factors, interpolating the results and their impact on settlements. Urban and rural settlements are highly prone to landsliding because of the increased population which lives in the affected territories. Therefore, an assessment of landslide susceptibility becomes an important phase to predict the most vulnerable settlements of a certain territory in order to implement different disaster mitigation plans/works and land planning strategies. Our study area has a high tendency to landslide due to its lithological and morphological structure. Thus, our purpose is to generate a reliable and accurate analysis of the settlements using the susceptibility map generated by the MaxEnt software, based on 8 identified landslide causing factors: slope angle, slope aspect, profile and plan curvature, terrain roughness, depth of fragmentation, precipitation and temperature. The resulted map indicates a high value of accuracy, the area under the curve (AUC) showing a high performance (0.925) of our analysis.
