Mihail Kogălniceanu's "Cronicele României, séu, Letopisețele Moldaviei si Valahiei" is a foundational collection of historical chronicles that illuminate the past of the Romanian Principalities. This multi-volume work, first published in a comprehensive edition in 1872, compiles and presents crucial historical records of Moldavia and Wallachia, offering a direct engagement with the narratives that shaped these lands. Assembled by a leading statesman and one of the architects of modern Romanian historiography, the collection reflects Kogălniceanu's commitment to documenting and understanding the nation's origins.

The chronicles within provide a window into the political, social, and cultural landscape of these regions before their unification into the modern Romanian state. Through the voices of earlier chroniclers, edited and contextualized by Kogălniceanu, readers gain insight into the events, figures, and developments that laid the groundwork for Romanian national identity. This work serves as an essential resource for those seeking to comprehend the complex historical trajectory and the rich heritage of Romania.
