Summary/Abstract: Agathangelos in the Romanian countries in the nineteenth century. Readings and readers. The study analyzes the circulation of a Greek writing of the eighteenth century, entitled Agathangelos, in the Romanian countries. This writing includes a collection of political visions and prophecies, in order to boost the Greek revival movement, stimulated by the Russian-Turkish wars. In Romanian countries, Agathangelos received wide circulation, printed and manuscript, until the late nineteenth century. Political ideas disseminated through the visions of Agathangelos were taken and adapted in specific ways by Romanian readers, ac-cording to their own ideological codes.
