Summary/Abstract: This study presents the preliminary outcomes in the investigation of violent deaths in Transylvania from 1850 to 1918. The analysis was carried out on the threefold levels of macro-, mezzo-, and micro-historical investigation. The data on deaths due to external factors extracted from the Historical Population Database of Transylvania (hpdt) allowed for a more thorough analysis of the phenomenon. The variables used—some related to the individuals, such as gender, ethnicity, marital status, and socioeconomic level—but also contextual variables such a locality type, have revealed differences in the probability of violent death among the past population of Transylvania.
