"This study is dedicated to a building in downtown Cluj, located on the south side of today’s Memorandumului Street. Although the edifice features many aspects of the stylistic evolution of the architecture of Cluj (it was built in Gothic style, with considerable changes that pertained to the Renaissance and then the Baroque styles), the history of the edifice is almost unknown in the literature of local history. Our study aims to provide a detailed description of the building, to outline the various stages of its construction, and to identify the people who animated its spaces and contributed to the history of the building."

One of the most distinguishing marks of the American South is that religion is more important for the people who live there than for their fellow citizens in the restof the country. When this trait began to identify the region is surprisingly unclear, but it has begun to attract attention from scholars of religion and society who have hitherto been esteemed as students primarily of areas outside the South. The study of religion in Dixie cannot but benefit from this change. After centuries of obsession with thickly settled, college-proud, and printexpressive New England—an area not noted for excessive modesty in thinking about its place in the New World—students of American religion are turning to a region whose history has sustained a selfconsciousness that makes its place in American religious history unique. For studying the American South begins with a dilemma born of ambiguity: whether to treat it as a place or an idea. Sometimes, to be sure, the South appears to be both; but sometimes it is “place” presented as an idea; and sometimes it is a place whose historical experience should have, according to reflective writers, taught Americans historical and moral lessons they have failed to learn. Confusion results in part from the South's contested history not only between the region and the rest of the United States but also among various competing groups within its permeable and frequently indistinct borders. Differences between region and nation will, however, continue to dominate conversation even though the myth of southern distinctiveness may mislead students as much as the myth of its evangelical homogeneity. If inquiry about religion in the South should be sensitive to the many faith communities there, the history of the South will still by contrast provide insight into the broader “American” society.

This paper is about the history of the spread of Islam in Bengkulu region, Indonesia. Sumatra is the sixth islands of the world and the third islands of Indonesia in size after Borneo and Papua. Bengkulu is located in the south of Sumatra. The Arab civilization and cultural relics in Indonesia were numerous, especially in the Bengkulu region of Sumatra. These effects were in fact derived from the power of the Islamic religion. One of the objectives of this research is to highlight the efforts of Arab and Indonesian scholars in spreading Islam in the Bengkulu region, and to clarify the history of Bengkulu before the introduction of Islam, which began with the entry of the monastic buddies during the era of King Ajay Brinah Sikalawi Libung. These are the following questions: How was the life of the people of Bengkulu before the introduction of Islam? What are the Arab cultural and cultural monuments in Bengkulu? To answer these questions, we relied on the descriptive approach.
