AŞA GRĂIT-A AUSTROFILUL. UN DISCURS AL DEPUTATULUI AUREL ONCIUL ÎN PARLAMENTUL CISLEITHANIEI
Thus Spoke the Austrophile. A Speech of Deputy AurelOnciul in Cisleithaniaʼs Parliament

Summary/Abstract: The following paper includes considerations on our intention to translate into Romanian the speaches of all the Bukovinian members of the Chamber of Deputies of the Cisleithaniaʼs Parliament, held in the last session before the collapse of the Austrian Empire (October 20, 1909, – March 20, 1911). In particular, we refer, not by chance, to a speech given by Deputy Aurel Onciul during the debates that took place on December 19, 1917, before the start of the peace negotiations in Brest-Litovsk. We inserted the translation of this speech at the end of the paper. In order not to cause the disagreement of the historians, we did not venture to include in our text fragments of historical exegesis of the speech. We understand our work only as a preliminary test of the usefulness of our translating project in “refreshing” the documentation used by historians and other specialists in their research work.
