As a defining and distinguishing component of Old Romanian culture, religious writing has played a constant and programmatic role in shaping believers’ moral and social attitude, on the one hand, and their means of expression, on the other. The dissemination of texts and the continuous movement in Romanian space of copyists, typographers and sermon prints implicitly favoured and, at one time, against the background of remarkable cultural consensus, even imposed linguistic unity, which became effective in service books towards mid-eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, this first unitary form of literary norms in Church books constituted the basis for the unification of the Romanian language in culture and in secular writing.
