Comments about the book<\/h2>\n
5 January 2005<\/p>\n
Dear Stefano,<\/p>\n
I think your book is terrific. Very well done indeed. The colour printing is very good, the layout is perfect – I love all the extra pictures of interiors and the line-drawings. But most of all the quality of the text seems excellent (although I still have to read it in detail). I first went to the appendices and found them superb, a great contribution towards the study of these carpets.<\/p>\n
Danny Shaffer has asked me to write a review for Hali. In order to give your book the proper consideration that it deserves, it will need to be read very carefully by someone with sufficient experience and knowledge\u2026.<\/p>\n
Again, well done and congratulations.<\/p>\n
With kind regards and very best wishes,<\/p>\n

Marshall said TERRIFIC!\u00a0 Good color, the paper, the organization (especially), the choice of topics, the layout — all outstanding.<\/p>\n
Will the cover of each different language edition be a<\/p>\n
different color, so you’ll know at a glance which is<\/p>\n
which without doing further examination.<\/p>\n

Grandi complimenti a Lei! \u00c8 magnifico! Piu di qello che immaginavo. I tappeti soni bellissimi, i contributi ben composti e di alto livello scientifico. Tutto sommato una opera degna di essere il vero successore del libro del mio nonno. Sono molto orgolioso di aver ricevuto la\u2019opportunita di fare un piccolo contributo. Immagino il impegno e Suo sforzo nella realisazione e Le auguro che diventer\u00e0 anche un successo economico.<\/p>\n

Congratulations – and I really mean it, the book is magnificent – well designed and printed, good colour and packed with useful and interesting information.<\/p>\n

Sehr geehrter Herr Ionescu,<\/p>\n
haben Sie einen herzlichen Dank f\u00fcr den Erhalt des Buches “Altorientalische Teppiche in Siebenb\u00fcrgen” in englischer Version.<\/p>\n
Mich pers\u00f6nlich hat das Buch beeindruckt. Auch der Kirchenvorstand unserer evangelischen Kirchengemeinde in Mediasch und das Konsistorium unseres Mediascher Dekanats hat dar\u00fcber lobende Worte gefunden. Das Buch ist sehr sch\u00f6n, harmonisch und vollst\u00e4ndig geworden (hat alle Teppiche Siebenb\u00fcrgens ber\u00fccksichtigt). Wir haben es mit gro\u00dfer Genugtuung durchbl\u00e4ttert und gelesen. Auch meine Frau, die einen ausgepr\u00e4gten estethischen Sinn hat, war davon sehr angetan.<\/p>\n

I have received with great pleasure the book\u00a0 and had already time to enjoy<\/p>\n
it over the week end. Thank you so much for leading such an important<\/p>\n
undertaking. The work is not only valuable from the Turkish carpets stand<\/p>\n
point but it helped me to discover the nice community of Transilvania.<\/p>\n
The book is a pleasure to read , easy to find one’s chapters, very high<\/p>\n
quality photographs and printing\u2026..<\/p>\n
I belive this will be one of the major works on the Turkish carpets published lately. I was particularly happy to see cat 1, cat 7 and cat 14 in full colour reproduction.<\/p>\n
I wish you all the best in your undertakings.<\/p>\n

Stimate domnule Ionescu,<\/p>\n
Trebuia sa va scriu de mult, cu toate c\u0103 s\u00eent foarte ocupat. \u00cen primul r\u00eend pentru a v\u0103 felicita pentru lucrarea care, iat\u0103, a\u0163i dus-o la bun sf\u00eer\u015fit \u015fi care este cu siguran\u0163\u0103 un punct de cotitur\u0103 pentru colec\u0163iile acestor covoare din Transilvania. A\u015f spune c\u0103, dup\u0103 re\u00eenvierea con\u015ftiintei valorii covoarelor care a \u00eenceput spre sf\u00eer\u015fitul secolului 19 \u015fi a culminat cu publica\u0163ia lui E. Schmutzler, este cea mai importanta contribu\u0163ie pentru salvarea lor.<\/p>\n
\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n
Pentru colec\u2020iile noastre de covoare cred ca este esen\u0163ial s\u0103 se creeze \u015fi s\u0103 se mentin\u0103 o comunicare continu\u00e5 \u00eentre acest mediu de cunosc\u0103tori \u015fi de iubitori de \u201eart\u0103 covoristic\u0103\u201d \u015fi cei care le de\u2020in, \u00een a c\u00e5ror responsabilitate se afl\u00e5. Numai astfel, ele vor \u201etr\u00e5i\u201d \u015fi vor avea o speran\u0163\u0103 de via\u0163\u0103 lung\u0103.<\/p>\n
Meritul pentru toate acestea v\u0103 apartine.<\/p>\n
V\u0103 multumesc din inim\u0103 pentru toat\u0103 activitatea depus\u0103 privind covoarele noastre \u015fi v\u0103 doresc \u00een continuare mult succes!<\/p>\n

Sono lieto di accompagnare, con questo mio breve saluto, il Catalogo della Mostra Tappeti Anatolici dalla Transilvania,<\/em> organizzata dall\u2019Ambasciata di Romania presso la Santa Sede ed allestita nella prestigiosa sede dell\u2019Accademia di Romania a Roma.<\/p>\nLa Mostra intende far conoscere al pubblico romano ed italiano un ricchissimo ed originale patrimonio, costituito da alcune centinaia di pregiati tappeti di provenienza anatolica, atttualmente custoditi in diversi Musei, o presso le chiese cristiane evangeliche sassoni e quelle riformate magiare.<\/p>\n
Alla Mostra si affianca la pubblicazione del volume di Stefano Ionescu Antichi Tappeti Ottomani in Transilvania<\/em>, indispensabile supporto storico per apprezzare l\u2019importanza di questi manufatti e capirne la finalit\u00e0 ed il particolare uso fatto in Transilvania.<\/p>\nCi accorgiamo, cos\u00ec, che questi splendidi tappeti hanno una straordinaria storia da raccontare: essi ci rimandano non solo a secolari scambi comerciali tra l\u2019Impero Ottomano e la Transilvania, ma anche ad interessanti scambi culturali che seguono le rotte commerciali, come pure alla vita religiosa di alcune chiese cristiane presenti in Transilvania, in cui si fa largo uso di questi pregiati tappeti per i momenti di preghiera\u2026<\/p>\n

Congratulations on the book. It’s a magnificent achievement. Next week I will be delivering a paper on the “Curious Cultural Cocktail of the Transylvanian Carpet” at the Europe and Culture Conference to be held at the Central European University. I was not, unfortunately, able to get a copy of your book before completing the presentation, but your website helped immensely, and I will be praising the achievement of the book in the talk. I will also be putting in a request for the Central European University library to acquire a copy, since it’s exactly the sort of book they should have.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for sending this book.\u00a0 I have now received it and am delighted!\u00a0 I have not really yet had a chance to look through the text in detail.\u00a0 I note however a number of rugs that I have never seen before.\u00a0 I also very much like the way that it is not just a catalogue of the various rugs in the churches but gives a much more complete view of the situation, including some very nice photography.\u00a0 I can see that it must have involved a huge amount of work and am delighted to have it now in the library.<\/p>\n

Yesterday your book finally arrived. From what I knew in advance, I expected much, but what I got was even more: A truly great book! You have all reasons to be proud of researching and writing and editing it. On the one hand scholarly and uncompromisingly devoted to it’s subject, as it should, on the other hand a real feast for the eyes of a carpet lover. Congratulations! Be sure, I am very happy to have it in my library now. (And thank you especially for your kind dedication!)<\/p>\n

Dear Sir,<\/p>\n
I received your book while in France. It was beautifully packed, no damage whatsoever.<\/p>\n
The content is so beautiful, the setting, presentation, print quality so incredibly impressive, that I have not the slightest doubt, that this book will soon be referred to as a classic. McMullan would be proud of you. And Herrmann most certainly is biting his fingernails, down in Luzern.<\/p>\n
I am planning to order some more books, because this is just a piece of art, that will open the eyes to the un-initialised, and make the happiness of the collector.<\/p>\n
A GREAT AND HONEST BRAVO TO YOU AND THIS EXTRAORDINARY<\/p>\n
ACHIEVEMENT.<\/p>\n
I will get back in touch with you, for the subsequent orders.<\/p>\n

Dear Stefano Ionescu,<\/p>\n
It was a real pleasure to talk to you on the telephone a few days ago. In the meantime I have read your wonderful book word by word, cover to cover, have looked at every plate several times over, compared them to Schmutzler\u2019s, and found it fascinating from start to finish.\u00a0 In putting it together and illuminating it so lavishly you have done a great service to an excellent, worthy and necessary cause.<\/p>\n
Although I am no expert, even I can tell that the print quality is simply outstanding, not only in the reproductions of the carpets themselves, but also in the photographs of the church interiors which bring back the liveliest memories\u2026.<\/p>\n
