Abstract

The volume reviewed here is the most complete edition of Nicolaus Olahus’ work to date. It has been published in a prestigious series, “Opere fundamentale” (Fundamental works), curated by the Romanian Academy and the National Foundation for Science and Art, which follows the model of the French Pléiade. It is a semi-critical rather than a full critical edition. The series aims to provide access to reliable texts to as wide an audience as possible, along with the most important critical apparatus. The foreword to the volume was written by Ioan-Aurel Pop, who places Olahus among the European humanists of the sixteenth century and discusses how Olahus’ Hungarian intellectual contemporaries related to the fact that he had a Romanian ancestry. This is followed by Maria Capoianu’s study, where the author describes Olahus’ stay in Western Europe.
