                                THE OCNA FAIR IN THE MIDDLE 19TH AGE

"Moldovei" considers Ocna and Trotușul as markets (oppida) 109, and in 1737 the Austrian engineer colonel Johann C. Weiss also mentions them as "fairs" 110.

A second argument is the kinship relations of some families here with the ruler. It is enough to remember that in Ocna lived the noble Dediu Codreanu, a great backer, the father-in-law of Mihai Racoviță 111. One of his two daughters, Ana, famous for her beauty 112, was married to Mihai Racoviță. According to Ion Neculce, the boyar Dediu was a special man. The chronicler states that "there was no other man in the country as industrious and brave as him" 113. That is why Mihai Racoviță's awarding of market status to the town of Ocna should not surprise us, taking into account the honors and the passage enjoyed by the boyar Dediu alongside his son-in-law: If we also take into account the fact that the boyar Dediu was a chamberlain at the oven during the third reign of Mihai Racoviță (1715-1726) and rebuilt the Pious Paraschiva church in 1725, we can opt, until the discovery a document with the express mention of the fair for the dating proposed above. Using mainly the original documents from the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, we will observe the use, in documents with close dates, of both the qualification of village and that of fair. In the period 1690-1720 we find the mention of the "Ocna village" in the documents of May 2, 1698 114, December 5, 1705 115, August 15, 1711 116 and of the "Ocna fair" in the documents of April 22, 1692 117, October 1, 1705 118, August 15, 1711 119 and 18 July 1720 120. A final argument, brought forward by Nicolae Iorga 121, concerns the use of the seals of the two localities. The seal of the Trotuș fair, representing an arm holding a hammer, appears less and less, the last time on a document dated November 6, 1684 122, instead, the seal of the Ocna locality, shows-»]]
