Prince Gheorghe Bibescu published the book "Romanian Principalities before Europe" in Paris in 1856, when the Peace Congress that followed the Crimean War (1853-1856) was taking place. Written in French under the title "Les Principautés roumains devant l'Europe", the book was translated a year later into Romanian, also in a Parisian edition: PRINCIPATELES ROMINE INAINTEA EUROПЙ (a copy can be found in the collections of the ASTRA County Library of Sibiu.
Publishing this book under the pseudonym A. Sanejouand in that European political-military context, the former ruler of the Romanian Country proved to be a true defender of the ideals of the union of the two Danube Principalities, igniting unionist spirits with his message and proving himself a very good connoisseur of Romanian history. The pro-unionist arguments that Gheorghe D. Bibescu brings are historical, legal and political, emphasizing the status enjoyed by the Romanian Principalities throughout the centuries. The critical approach of his rule also highlights the frequent criticisms brought to him, but the book he wrote shows a different image of the prince. Having to abandon the throne in 1848, through his message he proved faithful to the cause of the Union of the Romanian Principalities in 1859, although then his candidacy for the throne of the Romanian Country failed.

In the special collections of the ASTRA Library in Sibiu - Cota C.l./88, no. Inventar 2715 - there is a small book, which attracted my attention from the beginning by the title - Romanian Principalities before Europe -, by content, message, and by the date and context of writing and publication. The book was written by Gheorghe Dimitrie Bibescu, lord of the Romanian Country between January 1, 1843 - June 14, 1848. Without being published with a transcription or translation from this form written in Roman-Cyrillic characters, the book written and published in French was pointed out by Nicolae Iorga in the work "History of Romanian literature in the century. the XIXth":
"Finally, the point of view of the former Lords is contained in these unpublished brochures: Les principautés roumaines devant l'Europe, whose author, A. Sanejouand, is Bibescu, desirous of a special Lordship for each principality; he also seems to have written, after a year, Quelques notes sur la Valachie" (Paris, 1857).
Iorga draws attention to a fake, a copy that appeared in Iasi in the same year. The book is also described by Lucian Predescu in "Enciclopedia Cugetarea", and later by Mihail Straje, in "Dictionary of pseudonyms, allonyms, anagrams, asteronyms, cryptonyms of Romanian writers and publicists".
Prince Gheorghe Bibescu published the book in Paris in 1856, during the Peace Congress that followed the Crimean War (1853‑1856). In this European political-military context, the former ruler of the Romanian Country proved to be a true defender of the ideals of the union of the two Danube Principalities, igniting unionist spirits with his message and proving to be a very good connoisseur of Romanian history. The pro-unionist arguments that Gheorghe D. Bibescu brings are historical, legal and political, emphasizing the status enjoyed by the Romanian Principalities throughout the centuries in relations with the High Gate, with tsarist Russia, Austria, England and with other European powers, more interested in promoting their own interests in the Romanian space, which became a place of intersection of their rivalries, which took on the most violent forms.
Written by Gheorghe D. Bibescu in a first edition in French in 1856, with the title "Les Principautés roumains devant l'Europe" (Typographie de Ch. Lahure, Rue de Vaugirard, 9) under the pseudonym "A. Sanejouand", the book was translated into Romanian a year later, with the title "Romanian Principalities before Europe" (Paris, Amyot, 8, Rue de la Paix, 1857), a copy of which can be found at the ASTRA Sibiu County Library.
Without becoming a defender of Gheorghe D. Bibescu regarding his reign and the frequent criticisms that were brought to him, we believe that "Romanian Principalities before Europe" reveals the character of the prince, who although forced to abandon the country's throne in 1848 in the face of the revolutionary wave, he proved faithful to the cause of the Union of the Romanian Principalities in 1859.
We appreciate that the interest in this book is very current. The writing, the Cyrillic-Roman text, shows a combination of Slavic and Latin characters, being a proof that we are in the transition period towards the adoption of the Latin alphabet in the writing of the Romanian language. In this form, the book was neither reported nor published until now, nor used in pro-unionist historical analyzes from the period before 1859.
We are publishing the book a long time after its discovery in the special collections of the ASTRA Sibiu County Library, the period in which I pointed it out through the article published in the volume "In honorem professoriis Stefan Stefanescu octogenaris" (Editura Academiei Romane Bucuresti / Istros, Braila , 2009, pp. 815‑854) under the title Another image of Prince Gheorghe Bibescu: "Romanian Principalities before Europe" and in "Libraria. Studies and bibliological research" (no. VII/2008, pp. 237-257, Tg. Mures), with the title Romanian Principalities before Europe: a book-manifesto to Prince Gheorghe Bibescu.
We publish it now considering that it is useful to all history lovers, teachers and students, being useful both in history seminars and in Cyrillic classes.
