History

The first known report of a Vlach school in Bolgárszeg, Brassó, dates back to 1480. In 1597, with the support of the Voivode Aron Voda of Wallachia, a stone building was built to replace the wooden Vlach school. It was extended in 1761. Coresi, one of the fathers of the Vlach language and culture, came here from Târgoviște in 1556. Thanks to Deacon Coresi and his printing press, the first books in the Vlach language were published here. At that time, the Slavonic language was still used in Orthodox churches, but already in Transylvania the translation of the Orthodox books into Vlach had begun.
