  Article:   BOOK REVIEW ON ROMANIAN NATIONALISM - THE MEDIEVAL GENESIS OF THE MODERN NATION (THE XIIITH - XVITH CENTURIES) BY IOAN-AUREL POP. BUCHAREST: ROMANIAN CULTURAL FOUNDATION PUBLISHING HOUSE, 1998.

Authors:  MIHAI OLARU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:   Starting from his personal research on the Romanian solidarity in the XIVth-XVIth centuries and benefiting from the comparative views offered by a rich foreign literature, professor Ioan-Aurel Pop’s aim is to underline “the ways medieval national feelings appear,” exactly as they are shown by the sources, as historical facts. His aim is limited; he wants to show historical facts, while leaving the others the task of sublimating facts “in concepts, ideas, and theories”. However, this last statement is debatable, as the book itself is a theory and the introductory chapter tries to clarify the concept of “nation”. On the other hand, just like other specialists can use the results of historians’ work, historians could build theories by interpreting facts.
