In 2018, Dana Percec and Dan Negrescu published the ambitious Excerpte veninoase şi onirice. Eseuri despre doi fraţi [Venomous and oneiric excerpts. An essay about two brothers], an elaborate study on the cultural history of poison and dreams. This publication is a fine display of Percec’s storytelling talent and analytic skills. The book contains excerpts from Pietro d’Abano’s influential De venenis eoruromque remediis (1472) and from Dionysius Lazarus’ seminal Tractatus de somniis (1623), translated for the first time into Romanian by Dan Negrescu, who also added several annotations and explanatory notes to the selected fragments.
