N2  - The relationships between the Romanian Principalities and the wider Orthodox world formed a fundamental framework of Romanian history, showing the Romanians’ place and role in European and world history. For five centuries (14th–19th), Moldavia and Wallachia served as the principal cultural and material supporters of Christian peoples in the Balkan Peninsula and the Near East. This volume brings together 21 studies on the connections between Romanians and Mount Athos: the general history of the Holy Mountain; the ties between certain Athonite monasteries and the Romanian Principalities; the Romanian sketes and the life of Romanian monks residing on Mount Athos; Mount Athos saints and personalities who had links to the Romanian lands; pilgrimages to Mount Athos in the 19th–20th centuries; the artistic relations between Mount Athos and the Romanian Principalities; and the issue of Romanian monasteries subordinated to Mount Athos.
