Cuvnt introductiv
scut la Cluj n anul 1443, regele Matia Corvin este probabil, n competiie cu tatl su Iancu de Hunedoara, personalitatea istoric cu cea mai mare popularitate de-a lungul veacurilor, pe care a dat-o Transilvania. Epoca sa, 1458-1490, este socotit unanim de specialiti ca una de maxim nflorire i afirmare a Ungariei medievale pe toate planurile. Este n acelai timp epoca de maxim vizibilitate a Transilvaniei n cadrul regatului maghiar. Accesul familiei nobililor de origine romn de la Hunedoara la conducerea suprem n stat s-a datorat n primul rnd rolului decisiv al Transilvaniei i, n general al prilor estice ale regatului, n epopeea antiotoman din secolul XV. Dup victoria de la Belgrad a lui Iancu de Hunedoara, din 1456, forele politice din aceste pri s-au coalizat n jurul familiei sale i au impus dietei ungare alegerea ca rege a fiului eroului de la Belgrad. Pe plan politic, Transilvania i-a consolidat autonomia, strile dominante: nobilimea, saii i secuii, afirmnd existena unui regnum Transilvanie i ncercnd chiar secesiunea fa de coroana maghiar, n anul 1467. Tendina s-a pstrat, chiar dac regele a controlat provincia cu mn de fier dup acest episod. n raport cu pericolul otoman, care nu a mai cunoscut anvergura de dinainte, Transilvania a fost teatrul celei mai mari btlii de dup Belgrad, pe Cmpul Pinii, lng Ortie, n 1479. Otile ardelene au susinut n repetate rnduri eforturile rii Romneti i Moldovei, avanposturi ale regatului n lupta antiotoman, i au participat la luptele de pe frontiera balcanic. O adevrat nflorire a cunoscut viaa economic, vizibil mai ales n dezvoltarea comerului, a meteugurilor, a mineritului i oraelor.. Oraele, trgurile, vmile, salinele i monetriile Transilvaniei erau surse foarte importante pentru vistieria unui rege implicat n proiecte de anvergur, tot mai costisitoare. Privilegiile nenumrate acordate tuturor oraelor din Transilvania i-au asigurat regelui nu numai o surs de venit, ci i un aliat important contra marii nobilimi centrifuge. Pe plan social, Matia Corvin a promovat o politic bazat pe justiie i de sprijinire a categoriilor active i fidele puterii centrale. Pe urmele tatlui su, a ridicat n funcii importante oameni de jos, din mica nobilime, de pe domeniile ntinse ale familiei, ntre care muli romni, experimentai n luptele cu turcii. A folosit rscoala din 1467 pentru a proceda la un uria transfer de proprietate de la rebeli ctre fidelii si. ntre acetia, Ioan Ungur de Ndtia, care mpreun cu ei din familia More/Fichor de Ciula, din prile Hunedoarei, au ocupat importante poziii la Curte i n cuprinsul regatului. Epoca mathian a fost remarcabil i inovatoare pe toate planurile; nu este locul ici s intrm n detalii. Mrturiile sale sunt i astzi tangibile peste tot n cuprinsul Transilvaniei, n teren, ca monumente: biserici, fortificaii, arhitectur urban, sau n arhive, muzee i biblioteci. * Expoziia de fa dorete s sugereze, cu sursele autentice de care dispun organizatorii, doar cteva aspecte legate de istoria i posteritatea regelui Matia Corvin. Arhivele Naionale din Cluj-Napoca prezint o parte a actelor i privilegiilor emise de ilustrul domnitor pe seama oraelor Cluj, Bistria, Dej i Baia Sprie, din care rezult complexitatea i particularitile raporturilor speciale dintre puterea central i oreni n aceast epoc. Mai cu seam Clujul este favoritul regelui, att prin importana economic, dar mai ales prin faptul c s-a nscut aici, menionat expres n mai multe documente. Documentele Bistriei reflect emanciparea din starea de dependen fa de familia Corvinetilor i temerea orenilor de a nu-i pierde iari libertatea foarte scump pltit. Din arhiva Dejului remarcm documentul coninnd semntura autograf a regelui Mathias rex manu propria, Matia Corvin fiind primul suveran care i-a semnat, e drept, foarte rar, actele. n fine, un grupaj de documente, mai mult cu titlu sugestiv, provine din cteva fonduri nobiliare. Muzeul Naional de Istorie a Transilvaniei, care gzduiete expoziia, expune o serie de mrturii de via material din secolul XV, existente n coleciile sale: cahle, sigilii de breasl. De asemenea, am socotit necesar s prezentm macheta grupului statuar Matia Corvin, inaugurat la Cluj n anul 1902, oper a sculptorului Ioan Fdrusz. n fine, ca sugestie a nfloririi culturale a epocii corvinene, expoziia este ilustrat cu imagini din manuscrisele Corvina pstrate n colecia Bibliotecii Naionale Austriece.

Foreword

orn in Cluj in 1443, King Mathias Corvinus is probably, challenging his father John of Hunedoara (Hunyadi), the most well known historical personality from Transylvania of all times. This epoch, 1458-1490, is unanimously considered by the scholars to be one of the most flourishing period of medieval Hungary in all respects. It is also the period of maximum affirmation of Transylvania within the Hungarian Kingdom. The accession of the noble family of Romanian origin from Hunedoara (Hunyadi), to the highest state functions was mostly due to the decisive participation of Transylvania and of the eastern Hungary, to the antiottoman struggle from the XV century. After the victory of John Hunyadi in Belgrade, 1456, the political forces of the region made a coalition with his family and succeeded to impose to the Diet of Hungary the election of his son as king. On political field, Transylvania strengthened its autonomy. The privileged nations: the Noblility, the Saxons and the Szeklers promoted the existence of a Regnum Transylvanie and even tried a secession of the country from the Hungarian crown in 1467. These tendencies persisted even after the King started to rule the kingdom with a strong hand. In the conditions of the permanent ottoman threat, Transylvania became the field of the most important battle after Belgrade, on the Cmpul Pinii, near Ortie in 1479. Transylvania sustained continuously the antiottoman struggle of the two Romanian principalities, where Stephan the Great and Vlad the Impaler distinguished themselves. The Transylvanian troops participated to the campaigns against the Turks in the Balkans. Economic life was in great prosperity, perceptible mainly in the development of trade, handicrafts, mining and towns. The towns, the market towns, the tolls, the salt mines and the Transylvanian mints were important sources of income for the king, sice the King was involved in important and very expensive projects. The privileges granted in great number to the Transylvanian towns assured the king not only the incomes, but also provided important allies against the influence of the high nobility. On social level Mathias Corvinus promoted a policy based on justice, in order to support the active social strata, that was loyal to the central power. Following his fathers policy, he appointed to high state functions people from the lower nobility settled on the possessions of the Hunyadi family; among them were many Romanians soldiers with experience in fighting the Turks. The king took advantage of the rebellion from 1467 in order to make huge conveyances of property from the rebels to his loyals. Among them John Ungur de Ndtia, together with the members of the family More/Fichor from Ciula, Hunedoara county, received important offices at the Court and in the Kingdom. Mathias epoch was remarkable and also innovative in all respects; unfortunately there is no space for further details. Its inheritance is tangible even nowadays all over the Transylvania in form of churches, fortifications, urban landscape or in the collections of the archives, museums and libraries. * The exhibition presents through of the exhibited documents and objects only some aspects connected to the history and the posterity of King Mathias Corvinus. The National Archives from Cluj presents a part of the documents and privileges issued by the great ruler and granted to the towns Cluj, Bistria, Dej, Baia Sprie, from which results the complexity and the specific features of the special relations between the central power and the towns in this period of time. The town Cluj apparently was the kings favorite because its economic importance and mainly due to the fact that he was born there, which was mentioned in several documents. The documents referring to Bistria present the emancipation from the dependence on the family Hunyadi on one hand and the fear of the town inhabitants not to lose again their liberties, on the other hand. Worth to be mentioned the autograph signature of the King: Mathias rex manu propria, in a document from the Dej archive. Mathias Corvinus was the first king who had signed, even if very rarely, his documents. In the end, there are some documents as examples from some noble family archives. The Transylvanian National History Museum that hosts the exhibition, displays the proofs of the XV century material life: stove tiles, seals of the guilds, coins. We also considered necessary to present a model of the statue of Mathias Corvinus, inaugurated in Cluj in 1902, work of John Fdrusz. At last, as a suggestion of a cultural development of King Mathias Corvinus epoch, the exhibition is completed with images from the Corvina manuscripts, preserved in the collection of the Austrian National Library.
