Abstract
Hronicul vechimii romano-moldo-vlahilor includes some references to the Vlachs from Epirus and Thessaly, but Dimitrie Cantemir was mostly concerned with the greatest political achievement of the south-Danubian Romanians, the state created in cooperation with the Bulgarians after the rebellion of 1185 against the Byzantine domination. His main source was the history of Niketas Choniates, the most important for the first two decades of the state, but he ignored other indispensable sources like Georgios Akropolites or Jeffrey of Villehardouin. Large fragments from the book of the Byzantine historian and statesman Niketas Choniates were translated by Cantemir in his unfinished history of the Romanians.
