Absztrakt

The analogies of the written stones from the Tászok Peak can be found along the routes passing through the border areas of Transylvania and Moldavia, including the so-called Salt Road that connected the Salt Region (Sóvidék) in the district of Udvarhelyszék with the region of Moldvabánya (Baia) and the so-called Beszterce route connecting Beszterce (Bistrița) with Karácsonkő (Piatra Neamț). The third road connected Szászrégen (Reghin) with the region of Ditró (Ditrău), from whence the road lead through Pricske to Tölgyes (Tulgheș) and Moldova (Western Moldavia) and through the Tászok to Bélbor (Bilbor) and Bukovina. My observations suggest that the written stones found in the Szeklerland and the Moldavian areas are mainly connected to the Anjou-Era network of commercial roads used during the 14th–18th centuries between Transylvania and Moldova. The sites listed in this study are: Firtos (Firtușu) Peak, Szertő Peak, Bekecs (Bichiș) Peak, Kereszt (Crucii) Mountain, Salamás (Sărmaș) Creek, Tászok (Tasoc) Peak, Pricske (Prișca) Peak, Zsedán (Jedanu) Creek, Hajtó (Haita) Creek, Írottkő (Piatra Scrisă) Peak, Herla and Radocsány (Rădășeni). All of them can be associated with the commercial road network from the Middle Age and the Age of Principality, which partly remained in use until the 19th century
