This paper analyses knowledge transfers between Catalonia and Romania in the interwar period, in order to cast new light on the nature of national history writing in early‐twentieth‐century Europe. To do so, it discusses the historiographical works of the Catalans Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867–1956) and, to a lesser extent, Antoni Rubió i Lluch (1856–1937) and of the Romanians Nicolae Iorga (1871–1940) and Constantin Marinescu (1891–1970). It pays particular attention to Iorga's and Marinescu's contributions on the history of medieval Catalonia in the Eastern Mediterranean and to Puig's studies on Moldavian painted churches. In doing so, the paper challenges the view that the historiography of foreign scholars regarding one's own national history was often disregarded as incompetent. At the same time, the paper also responds to the debate on the creation and validation of cultural knowledge across borderlands, outside of cultural cores. It builds on recent work on the creativity of cultural peripheries and argues that, while France continued to operate as a reference in the exchanges between Catalans and Romanians, their historiographical exchanges responded to local research and political agendas.

研究加泰罗尼亚和罗马尼亚之间的中世纪历史。Josep Puig i Cadafalch，Nicolae Iorga和国家历史的跨国著作（1921-1935）

本文分析了两次世界大战期间加泰罗尼亚和罗马尼亚之间的知识转移，以期为二十世纪初欧洲的国家历史书写的性质提供新的思路。为此，它讨论了加泰罗尼亚人Josep Puig i Cadafalch（1867年至1956年），较小程度上由AntoniRubiói Lluch（1856年至1937年）以及罗马尼亚人Nicolae Iorga（1871年至1940年）和康斯坦丁的史学著作。马里内斯库（1891-1970）。它特别关注Iorga和Marinescu对东地中海中世纪加泰罗尼亚历史的贡献，以及Puig对摩尔达维亚彩绘教堂的研究。在此过程中，本文对以下观点提出了质疑：外国学者关于本国历史的史学常常被认为是不称职的。同时，该论文还回应了关于在文化核心之外跨边界地区创建和验证文化知识的辩论。它建立在最近关于文化边缘创造力的工作的基础上，并指出，尽管法国继续在加泰罗尼亚人和罗马尼亚人之间的交流中作为参考，但他们的史学交流对当地的研究和政治议程做出了回应。
