The outcome of a scientific conference organized in November 2021, this volume aims to provide a picture of how the aristocratic political class of France and Moldavia sought to challenge monarchical power and how the latter tried to reassert itself in face of this turbulent nobility, in the context of the endemic civil wars that plagued both countries during the chosen period. For this purpose, this volume tries to analyze both the ideological issues involved in these endemic struggles, as they appear in the propaganda of the period, and the practical aspects and consequences (political intrigues or military developments) of the conflictual relationship between the rulers of these countries...
A book regarding the evolution of towns in the Romanian area in the period between 16th-19th centuries.
This edited collection focuses on migrant women and their families, aiming to study their migration patterns in a historical and gendered perspective from early modernity to contemporary times, and to reassess the role and the nature of their commitment in migration dynamics.

The book also promotes the potential of an inclusive approach, tackling various types ...
Biserica și orașul au avut de-a lungul timpului o relaţie ambivalentă. Ca o construcție definitorie, unică sau în cadrul unui ansamblu arhitectural, biserica este o parte a peisajului urban, dar este și separată uneori de acesta, prin ziduri proprii. Deservește oameni, atât în interior, cât și în exterior. Preoți, călugări, ierarhi, oamenii Bisericii au fost integrați în societatea orașului, dar formau și un grup social aparte. Biserica a profitat economic de pe urma prezenţei în orașe, dar a fost și un concurent pentru acestea. Prin urmare, aria tematică a volumului este generoasă şi include aspecte ce ţin de organizarea oraşelor, biserici și mănăstiri din spaţiul urban, societate, patrimoniu urban, iniţiative edilitare, toate în linia sinuoasei relații dintre oraș și Biserică.
Amidst growth in the history of mentalities - a developing research trend in Western historiography from the 1960s - there has been a greater interest in interrogating various types of historical sources, among which are testaments. Consequently, interdisciplinary analysis of this particular category of documents - that Roger Aubenas called "une source historique prometteuse" - with corroboration from information provided by other such sources, could undoubtedly offer new perspectives for a better understanding of family history, private life, mentalities, religious beliefs and behaviours, individual and collective attitudes and sensibilities, in earlier and more recent times. The present vo...
