This article uses quantitative methods to provide a macro perspective on translations of novels in Romanian culture during the long nineteenth century, by modifying Eric Hobsbawm’s 1789-1914 period, and using it as spanning from 1794 (the first registered local publishing of a translated novel) to 1918 (the end of the First World War). The article discusses the predominance of the French novel (almost 70% of the total of translated novels), the case of four other main competitors in the second line of translations (or the golden circle, as named in the article: German, English, Russian, and Italian), the strange case of the American novel as a transition zone, and the situation of five other groups of novels translated during the period (the atomizing agents: the East European, the Spanish, the Austrian, the Nordic, and the Asian novel).

The Royal Library in Copenhagen has for 50 years been in possession of an archive of extraordinary scope, bequeathed to it by the former chief rabbi in Denmark, Professor David Simonsen (1853–1932). The significance of the archive should be immediately related to the important role played by Simonsen during the First World War, in that he, after having renounces his rabbinical post in 1902, simultaneously functioned as political leader for that part of European Jewry residing in the neutral countries (i.e. the Nordic countries and Switzerland), and heads the international relief-work operations rendered to East-European Jewry during the war. All correspondence pertaining to the lot of the Jews in Eastern Europe prior to the outbreak of the war, and during the ongoing hostilities, was filed by David Simonsen with utmost care. The archive also contains letters and documents relating to his rabbinical and research activities.
