Reviews
"...Victor Spinei est un spécialiste reconnu de l'histoire de la Moldavie rnédiévale (sec. Xl-XIV) et son récent livre complète heureusement la carte médiévale de l'Europe de l'Est dessinée par la collection dirigée chez Brill par Florin C Curta... Une riche bibliographie (p. 361-433, un index général et d'auteurs (p.499-545) et une illustration copieuse (60 figures) achèvent cette synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur une région et une époque largement méconnues..."
