Grigore Ureche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grigore Ureche (1590 - 1647) was a Moldavian chronicler who wrote on Moldavian history in his Letopiseţul Ţării Moldovei (The Chronicles of the land of Moldavia), covering the period from 1359 to 1594.
Ureche asserted that the Moldavian language was the same language as Wallachian and that Moldavians, Wallachians, and Transylvanians, were of the same ethnicity. Prince and scholar, Dimitrie Cantemir, further developed the idea of shared ethnicity, which would eventually lead to the rise of 18th century Romanian nationalism.
