Anastasius Crimca
Anastasie Crimca
(Born in Suceava, mid-16th century; Died at Dragomirna Monastery, Moldavia, 1629).
Romanian calligrapher, illuminator and writer. He was Metropolitan of Moldavia (1608–1617; 1619–1629) and the founder of Dragomirna Monastery (1609), where he initiated a scriptorium remarkable for the stylistic unity of the work produced over two decades. The great similarity of the works has caused them to be attributed to Crimca, although some scholars have disputed this. The accepted opinion is that nine codices can be attributed to him: five of these are at Dragomirna Monastery, three are in Bucharest, and the Acts of the Apostles (1610) is in Vienna.
