Istoriografia română a secolului al XIX-lea şi publicarea de documente istorice. Contribuţia Academiei Române
Romanian historiography of the 19th century and the publication of historical documents. Contribution of the Romanian Academy

Summary/Abstract: One of the main indicators of the modernization process of the Romanian historiography in the nineteenth-century and beyond the year 1900 is the interest in the discovery, publication, and valorization of historical documents. The study discusses general aspects of the problem, laying emphasis on the publication of internal historical sources (written in Old Church Slavonic and Slavic-Romanian) which had not been taken into consideration for decades, and preference was given instead to the writing of the national history strictly based on external sources (written in Latin, German, French or Italian). Furthermore, the study analyzes the editorial initiatives of certain individuals and institutions, the most significant being the Romanian Academy. In the period 1887-1938, the well-known “Hurmuzaki Collection”, made up of more than 30 volumes of documents, was published under its aegis.
