Summary/Abstract: These notes concerns the first “opening lecture” delivered by N. Iorga, in 1894, to the students in History, at the University of Bucarest. The lecture consisted into a development of the definition given by Leopold von Ranke to the History. Within such an occasion, the young, at that time, Professor Iorga tried, in fact, to expose his humanistic-traditionalistic perspective on the “organic fluency” of the History. On that “fluency” Iorga amphasized the historical thought and sense of the Modernity, as “affluences”, in classic terms for the XVI–XVIIIth Centuries, and very disturbing for the times of the Enlightenment and de Revolution, reflecting the “abstract philosophical ideas”.
