Spania în oglindă: imaginea Spaniei reflectată în operele cronicarilor Miron şi Nicolae Costin by Oana Sâmbrian-Toma

“…The events presented in their works give extremely interesting news about the presence of the general Juan Castaldo in Transylvania, trying to help Ferdinand, Charles V’s brother to win the Hungarian throne, the conquest of Napoli by the Spanish during the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic, illustrating a very convincing picture of the world of their time. In fact, the information given by the two Moldavian historians, even if it is correct or not, makes us understand the way in which Spain was conceived in Moldavia by the time when the two Costins, father and son, wrote.…”
