- Abstract
Discussing the editing of Austrian consular documents, the study presents unpublished historical sources regarding the Romanian Principalities and Serbia in 1848-1849. The study takes account of about 350 German language documents from the Vienna archives, now to be found in copies in the 1848 collection of George Bariţiu Institute of History in Cluj-Napoca. They reflect the activity of: the Habsburg consular agent in Wallachia, Casimir von Timoni; the consular agency in laşi led by consular agent August von Eisenbach; the Austrian consul in Galaţi, Wilhelm Christian Huber; Ferdinand Mayerhofer von Grünbühl's consular mission in Belgrade, Vojvodina and Banat. Additional French- and Russian-language documents from Moscow and Odessa archives are also investigated. They include the correspondence between the Russian consulates and the Austrian consular agencies in the Danube Principalities 1848-1849, as well as the Habsburg General Consulate in Novorussia's capital and its chief, Ludwig von Gutmannsthal. The study analyses palaeographic issues connected with the 1848 Habsburg consular documents, emphasizing the importance and benefits of exploring and editing the abovementioned archival sources.
