Frédéric Damé – un istoric francez al românilor
Frédéric Damé - A French Historian of Romanians

Summary/Abstract: This article is a small summary of the most eloquent works on the history of Romania written by Frédéric Damé. The author's interest in the origin and evolution of the Romanian people proves the sustained concern to know, to understand and to present the history of the adoptive country. We can say that the historiographical approach of Frédéric Damé highlights the unity and continuity of the Romanian people subject to strong influences of foreign people.His study dedicated to the history of the Romanians has, in addition to the obvious documentary value, also a sentimental, patriotic value, revealing the affection for our people who have the same Roman origins as the French people from whom they come. The conclusion that emerges from the exposition of the historical works is that, despite the vulnerable points highlighted, they remain notable attempts made by Frédéric Damé to bring to the attention of the French public the history of the Romanians.Without having the training and vocation of a historian, the French intellectual deserves appreciation for his erudition and courage to manifest himself in such a difficult, sensitive and risky field as the history of a paradoxical country, located at the confluence of East and West.
