 romanian modernism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The generation of the twenties and the thirties was able, if only in terms of architectural form, to overcome that handicap and to establish a conceptual frame of design in harmony with the contemporary quest for new forms in architecture.
The result was a slightly less jealous modernism, to use Vincent Scully's words, a kind of domesticated, quiet modernism which avoided excessive polemics and the eventual monotony of a too consistent reliance on geometry.
The architects of Bucharest at that time – Serban Cantacuzino tells us in his Foreword--were not 'chauvinistic', they rejected neither classical discipline, nor the avant garde themes, nor the links with tradition.

 [sword-devel] How about the OT's standard versification at Sword ?
The Byzantine Bible was translated into Romanian for the first time in 1688, and has much the same structure as the Septuagint.
The Orthodox Bible authorized from 1936 to 1994 is in fact a revision of the Byzantine one of 1688 (the so-called "Bible from Bucharest" of the voivode Serban Cantacuzino).
In the Romanian version, there are chapters longer or shorter with a number of verses, so the only way to make them fit the KJV's versification scheme is to compare the texts and modify the versification where necessary.
