Încă o privire din Polonia asupra Moldovei

A „dossier” preserved in the Vatican Archives, entitled Regni et Regnum Poloniae in Valachorum, comprises a selection of Polish sources related to the history of Moldavia and Wallachia. The collection drew on humanist authors, such as Kromer, Wapowski and Gorecki, and covered a significantly period of time. Most likely, the file was prepared by the Polish court for pope Clement VIII or for his close collaborator cardinal Cinzio Aldobrandini. The collage includes references to the origins of the Wallachians, to their language and customs, and to their history. As one would expect, special attention was paid to the historical relationship between Poland and Moldavia, from mid-fourteenth to mid-sixteenth century. To the same „dossier” was added a piece on the roxolans, viewed as pertaining to the Slavic and Orthodox sphere. The purpose of this „dossier” was to provide potential readers with key-sources on Polish-Moldo-Wallachian shared history.
