His works about the history of the Ottoman Empire and the Description of Moldavia, were translated in English, German and French and remained capital works until the end of XIXth century. However nowadays, outside Romania his works are known only by specialists. New digital technologies offer the possibility to annotate and display his texts in a much readable manner. Names of places, persons, dates can be mapped on existent databases and/or maps and linked with other knowledge bases. On such annotations complex queries are possible. In this article we will describe an ongoing project at the University of Hamburg, aiming to realise a digital edition of the German translations of…

Their opposite terms both result out of his humanistic culture and education. In order to achieve this goal we analysed on the one hand the defining elements of the critical rationalism found in his Hronic through which history is subjected to thorough processes of demythologization, removal of rhetoric, and objectification. On the other hand, we attempted to emphasize an opposite movement against historical criticism, i.e. promoting traditional mythical structures or establishing a new historical mythology of humanistic nature due to which Dimitrie Cantemir is now considered one of the main forerunners of modern nationalism. Keywords: Dimitrie Cantemir, Hronicul vechimei a romano-moldo-vlahilor, paradoxes, baroque, historical myths.

We will consider Incrementorum et decrementorum Aulae Othmannicae libri tres, Historia Moldo-Vlachica, De antiquis et hodiernis Moldaviae nominibus, Descriptio antiqui et hodierni status Moldaviae, Vita Constantini Cantemyrii. The aim of the research is to identify the influences on Romanian spelling of these words, continuing the research undertaken by Academician Gheorghe Mihăilă (2008), in Descriptio Moldaviae, as well as the solutions proposed by Cantemir, especially on the words rarely or never documented in his bibliographical sources. Anthroponyms and names of the places have been discussed in our previous articles. We intend to bring additions and improvements to our research on the Latin works of the Moldavian Prince; we are not very much concerned with the Latinized forms, but…

This research mainly concerns Dacia vetus et nova, a project that has been reconstructed based on the few conserved fragments and their reception, as well as its role in configuring the way the French Enlightenment understood the unity of the three Romanian provinces.

The explicit Christian perspective and, nevertheless, the direct knowledge of the Ottoman realia are elements that connect the two writings, separated by a century and a half of impetuous history. Related to different moments of the Ottoman Empire, the two works, belonging to authors placed in totally opposed positions (slave and prince), ought to have a parallel lecture.

Aspecte ale vieții și evenimente din istoria Greciei acelor vremuri apar și în unele texte scrise în aria culturală a creștinismului ortodox aflată sub influența fanariotă. Acest articol își propune o analiză a caracteristicilor limbii, literaturii și culturii fanariote din Grecia secolului al XVIII-lea. În acest sens, sunt discutate următoarele texte: două comedii satirice, Alexandrovodas / Prințul fără scrupule, scrisă de G.N. Soutsos în preajma anului 1785 – o satiră la adresa lui Alexandru Mavrocordat, domnul Moldovei –, și Saganaki / Furtuna nebuniei, scrisă de un anonim în preajma anului 1790, avându-l în centru pe domnitorul Țării Românești Nicolae Mavrogheni (între anii 1786 şi 1789); câteva traduceri (din italiană și din germană) ale unor piese de teatru…

As little information was available about the origins of the text, we found that it was actually a British novel, Ammorvin and Zallida, written by a low-level writer, Mary Charlton, in 1798. Translated the same year into French, the novel was quite appreciated in its French version which circulated throughout Europe, being finally transposed into Romanian. We have therefore studied the Romanian text in comparison with the French it translated and commented upon the merits and the shortcomings of the translation, underlining the good knowledge of French of the…

As a result of the modification of acculturation, the importance of lay translations from Western writings increased considerably. The paper draws attention upon the differences between the religious translations, in which faithfulness to the original generated little intervention into the sacred text (mainly of a linguistic character, of the explanatory interpolation type), and the interventions of lay text translators upon the originals, especially in the scientific areas, interventions called by the author (con)textual interpolations. The author proposes a possible taxonomy of these interpolations and tries to account for their motivations: the correction of some mistakes, the…
