OBSERVAŢII ASUPRA TEXTELOR DESPRE RĂZBOAIELE NAPOLEONIENE APĂRUTE LA BUDA ÎN ANII 1814-1815
OBSERVATIONS ON THE TEXTS PUBLISHED IN BUDA BETWEEN 1814 AND 1815 CONCERNING THE NAPOLEONIC WARS

Summary/Abstract: Six Romanian booklets on the Napoleonic wars printed in Buda in 1814-1815 were considered anonymous until the present time. We re-initiated the discussion on their paternity with linguistic and philological arguments, proving that the author of five of them is Ioan Theodorovici, the priest of the Greek-Romanian church in Pesta and one of the authors of the Lexicon of Buda (1825). The sixth booklet, containing the biography of Tsar Alexander I, remains anonymous. Zaharie Carcalechi’s collaboration proves that the six brochures can be considered the beginning of the print media in the Romanian language.
