Summary/Abstract: Far for being an exhaustive analysis of the historiographical products that treated the Transylvanian revolution at the end of World War I, the present issue aims to make in the main an inventory of the way this historic subject has been discussed within a generous period, of more than a century. The radiography so developed presents the breaches concerning the facts to be interpreted, and how the political context directed discontinuously the historical writing to some favorite subjects in analyzing Transylvania during October-December 1918.The Transylvanian revolution passes thus a long way and historically not properly set yet, from a national movement to a Marxist-Leninist class struggle, bourgeois-democratic; this way is visible both at the terminological level (revolutions, revolts, rebellions – the labels under which the collective movements at the end of the international conflagration were known as), and the manner the Transylvanian protagonists of those events at the end of World War I have been perceived, and the way the revolutionary scenario as well as the stakes of the structures of power developed within the fall and winter of 1918.
