Revue Roumaine d'Histoire
Revue Roumaine d'Histoire is a scholarly periodical founded in the early twentieth century that publishes research on Romanian and European pasts, attracting contributions across Parisian, Bucharest, Vienna, Berlin, Geneva and London intellectual networks. The journal positions itself at intersections with studies on the Ottoman Empire, Habsburg Monarchy, Kingdom of Romania (1881–1947), Soviet Union, European Union, and debates stemming from archives in Iași, Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest, Vienna, Budapest, and Constantinople. It engages historians working on topics related to the Byzantine Empire, Roman Empire, Dacians, Genoa, Venice, Moldavia (historical principality), Wallachia, Transylvania, and regions connected to the Danube and the Black Sea.
The journal emerged amid intellectual currents shaped by figures such as Nicolae Iorga, A. D. Xenopol, Vasile Pârvan, Ioan Bogdan, and contemporaries connected to the Romanian Academy and the University of Bucharest. Its early decades intersected with scholarly debates that involved researchers from Princeton University, Sorbonne University, University of Vienna, University of Oxford, Harvard University, and the Institutul de Istorie Nicolae Iorga. During the interwar period the periodical responded to events like the Union of Transylvania with Romania, the aftermath of the Treaty of Trianon, and shifts following the Balkan Wars. Under communist rule the journal negotiated constraints related to the Communist Party of Romania and policies influenced by the Eastern Bloc, while maintaining exchanges with scholars from Moscow State University, Leningrad State University, and institutions in Warsaw, Prague, and Sofia. Post-1989 transitions paralleled reconfiguration of ties with academic centers such as University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Central European University, University of Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, and Columbia University.
The journal covers medieval, early modern, modern, and contemporary periods, publishing analyses on episodes like the Battle of Nicopolis, the Battle of Mohács, the Treaty of Passarowitz, the Congress of Berlin, and the Paris Peace Conference (1919–1920). It features studies on personalities including Michael the Brave, Vlad the Impaler, Stephen the Great, Carol I of Romania, Ferdinand I of Romania, King Michael I of Romania, Alexandru Ioan Cuza, and intellectuals such as Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran, Constantin Noica, and Lucian Blaga. Thematic dossiers examine topics connected to the Ottoman–Habsburg wars, the Phanariot regime, the Carpathian Basin, the Great Powers, and processes like the Industrial Revolution as they affected Romanian territories. Articles draw upon archival collections from the National Archives of Romania, the Austrian State Archives, the Archives Nationales, the British Library, and the Vatican Secret Archives, and engage with methodologies informed by scholars of the Annales School, proponents of microhistory, and researchers influenced by Fernand Braudel, Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, Eric Hobsbawm, E.P. Thompson, Natalie Zemon Davis, and Carlo Ginzburg.
The editorial board traditionally includes members affiliated with the Romanian Academy, the University of Bucharest, the Babeș-Bolyai University, the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, and international scholars from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, University of Oxford, Yale University, Princeton University, and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Peer review processes follow conventions found in journals associated with the American Historical Association, the Royal Historical Society, Deutsche Historische Institut, and the International Committee of Historical Sciences. Publication frequency, formats, and special issues have responded to calendar cycles of conferences such as those held by the International Congress of Historical Sciences, the European Historical Research Association, the Balkan Studies Association, and thematic meetings at the Institute for Advanced Study and the Humboldt University of Berlin. The journal has published bilingual abstracts in French language and sometimes in English language, reflecting ties to francophone scholarship from Université Libre de Bruxelles and anglophone centres at University of Chicago and King's College London.
The periodical is indexed in indexes and bibliographies used by researchers at institutions like the European University Institute, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the International Institute of Social History, and libraries such as the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Library of Congress. Its reception among specialists has led to citations in monographs from presses including Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Routledge, Brill Publishers, and Palgrave Macmillan, and it has been reviewed in outlets associated with the Times Literary Supplement, The Economist cultural pages, and national reviews tied to the Romanian Cultural Institute. Debates generated by articles have intersected with public history forums in Bucharest, policy discussions in Brussels, and exhibitions coordinated with the National Museum of Romanian History and the Museum of the Romanian Peasant.
Contributors have included historians and philologists such as Nicolae Iorga, Vasile Pârvan, Theodor Capidan, Gheorghe I. Brătianu, Ioan C. Filitti, C.C. Giurescu, Șerban Papacostea, Dinu C. Giurescu, Keith Hitchins, Florin Constantiniu, Zigu Ornea, Alexandru Zub, Andrei Pippidi, Lucian Boia, Stelian Neagoe, Ioan Aurel Pop, István Bóna, Paul Lendvai, Dennis Deletant, Catherine Durandin, Robert Kaplan, Tudor Rațiu, Irina Livezeanu, Marius Turda, Karel Davids, Georges Haupt, Corina Solomoni, Radu Florescu, David Prodan, and Emil Drăghici. Notable articles analyze archives related to the Phanariotes, studies of landholding and peasantry in the Danubian Principalities, prosopographical work on elites tied to the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, and cultural histories of the Romanian Orthodox Church, the Greek Catholic Church, and interactions with the Romanian National Party (1919–1926). Special issues have profiled events like Centennial of the Union of Romania, retrospectives on the Great Depression, and reassessments of the Cold War in Southeastern Europe.
