Originally published in French in 2004, Matei Cazacu’s Dracula remains the most authoritative scholarly biography of the Wallachian prince Vlad III the Impaler (1448, 1456-1462, 1476). Its core is an exhaustively researched reconstruction of Dracula’s life and political career, using original sources in more than nine languages. In addition Cazacu traces Dracula’s metamorphosis, at the hands of contemporary propagandists, into variously a bloodthirsty tyrant, and an early modern “great sovereign.” Beyond this Cazacu explores Dracula’s transformation into “the vampire prince” in literature, film and folklore, with surprising new discoveries on Bram Stoker’s sources for his novel. In this first English translation, the text and bibliography are updated, and readers are provided with an appendix of the key sources for Dracula’s life, in fresh and accurate English translations.

The California gold rush of 1849 created fortunes for San Francisco merchants, whose wealth depended on control of the city’s docks. But ownership of waterfront property was hotly contested. In an 1856 dispute over land titles, a county official shot an outspoken newspaperman, prompting a group of merchants to organize the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The committee, which met in secret, fed biased stories to the newspapers, depicting itself as a necessary substitute for incompetent law enforcement. But its actual purpose was quite different. In Dirty Deeds, historian Nancy J. Taniguchi draws on the 1856 Committee’s minutes—long lost until she unearthed them—to present the first clear picture of its actions and motivations. San Francisco’s real estate comprised a patchwork of land grants left from the Spanish and Mexican governments—grants that had been appropriated and sold over and over. Even after the establishment of a federal board in 1851 to settle the complicated California claims, land titles remained confused, and most of the land in the city belonged to no one. The acquisition of key waterfront properties in San Francisco by an ambitious politician motivated the thirty-odd merchants who called themselves “the Executives” of the Vigilance Committee to go directly after these parcels. Despite the organization’s assertion of working on behalf of law and order, its tactics—kidnapping, forced deportations, and even murder—went far beyond the bounds of law. For more than a century, scholars have accepted the vigilantes’ self-serving claims to honorable motives. Dirty Deeds tells the real story, in which a band of men took over a city in an attempt to control the most valuable land on the West Coast. Ranging far beyond San Francisco, the 1856 Vigilance Committee’s activities affected events on the East Coast, in Central America, and in courts throughout the United States even after the Civil War.

In Transylvania in the Second Half of the Thirteenth Century Tudor Salagean describes the deep transformations of a country that was the scene of a fierce resistance against the great Mongol invasion of 1241-1242. In the second half of the thirteenth century, with the rise of the provincial nobility, Transylvania redefines its internal political system, which reached its maturity during the rule of Ladislas Kan (1294-1315). The appearance of a complex congregational system, also achieved in this period, is connected with the assertion of Regnum Transilvanum, which represents a historical link between the early medieval regnum Erdewel of duke Gyula and the regnum transsilvaniensis of the Union of 1459, announcing the rise of the early modern Principality of Transylvania.

This is the first comprehensive treatment in any language of the history of customary law in Hungary, from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries. Hungary's customary law was described by Stephen Werboczy in 1517 in the extensive law code known as the Tripartitum. As Werboczy explained, Hungarian law derived from the interplay of Romano-canonical law, statute, written instruments, and court judgments. It was also responsive, however, to popular conceptions of the law's content and application, as communicated through the lay membership of the kingdom's courts. Publication of the Tripartitum was intended to make the law more certain by fixing it in writing. Nevertheless, its text was customized by actual use, in the same way as the statute laws of the kingdom were adjusted as a consequence of court practice and of errors in their transmission. The reputation attaching to the Tripartitum and Hungary's insulation from the Roman Law Reception meant that the Tripartitum continued to retain authority until well into the nineteenth century. Attempts to replace it foundered and it was the principal text on which the courts and the schools relied, not only in Habsburg Hungary but also in Transylvania. Courts, nevertheless, continued to modify its provisions in the interests of rendering judgments that they deemed either to be right or in conformity with developing practices. Even after the establishment of a parliamentary form of government in the nineteenth century, a strong customary element attached to Hungarian law, which was amplified by the association of customary law with national traditions. The consequence was that Hungary maintained aspects of a customary law regime until the Communist period.

The volume offers an idea of the confluence between the Western and Eastern worlds, reflected by genealogy and heraldry, the main auxiliary sciences of history, but also by others, such as prosopography, onomastics, sphragistics, philately or numismatics. The selected articles guarantee a reference volume that aims to promote a multitude of research tracks characteristic for the Romanian space, and in a broad sense the Central-European one. Encompassing facts and people from the fifteenth century onwards, this corpus of texts ensure a better connection of the regional research with the European historiography. One may also consider that the approached subjects have been increasingly sought after by historians from other areas because of the general lack of updated information on the genealogy and heraldry of the regional elites. Most texts included in this volume were presented during the 19th National Congress of Genealogy and Heraldry. Held in Iasi between 11 and 13 May 2023, the event marked the 25th anniversary of the "Sever Zotta" Institute. In parallel, the same event also marked 300 years since the death of the scholar Dimitrie Cantemir, 175 years since the Romanian Revolution of 1848, 150 years since the death of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first ruler of the United Principalities, and 80 years since the establishment of the Circle of Romanian Genealogists. This volume continues the series of collections of studies revolving around heraldry and genealogy, containing nineteen texts arranged chronologically in two substantial sections, by established authors - historians, art historians, archivists, etc.

Ce que l'on nomme "identité" est devenu un thème central du débat politique et des affrontements idéologiques dans un grand nombre de sociétés contemporaines. cet ouvrage s'efforce de comprendre ce dont il est en réalité question lorsque le thème de l'identité, nationale ou autre, est mis en avant. Les études de cas montrent la diversité des modes de configuration des "identités" en politique, la variété des usages qui en sont faits et la complexité des effets que ces usages en ont dans les sociétés étudiées (France, Italie, Hongrie, Roumanie, Russie, Liban, Inde, Etats-Unis).
