Summary/Abstract: The fact that Transylvania had for more than 1000 years a special history, separated from the extra-Carpathian space, being dominated by the Hungarian Kingdom and later by the Habsburg Empire with a well-structured multi-ethnic population, imposed a daily reality and a human environment different from the mother country , also reflected in the literature of the intracarpal space.
