Summary/Abstract: Through this study I tried to analyze the controversies between the historians of Orthodox orientation and those of Greek-Catholic orientation, which took place in Romanian historiography after 1918. I started from the investigation of the causes that were the basis of the reactivation of these polemics and then continued with the analysis of the content of these polemics, as reflected in several articles and critical notes. The historians involved in these polemics were, for the most part, in the stage of creative maturity and had important responsibilities in the didactic, administrative or ecclesiastical plan (Ioan Lupaș, Zenovie Pâclișanu, Nicolae Ivan, Onisifor Ghibu, Silviu Dragomir, Ștefan Lupșa, Victor Macavei). An important role was played by the confessional press in Transylvania, which also published anonymous articles or singned with pseudonyms.
