Through a series of life stories, which the author reconstructs with the aid of many new sources, readers discover how certain men and women defined and adapted their loyalties and affiliations, how they fashioned their identities, how they enrolled their linguistic, political, economic, and social resources to build a family and a career. Travelling between Istanbul, Vienna, Trieste, Moscow, Bucharest, or Ia?i, individuals of different backgrounds built their networks across borders, linking people and objects and facilitating cultural transfer and material and social change. 410 0$aBalkan studies library ;$vVolume 31. 606 $aidentity 606 $aSelf-Fashioning 606 $aNetwork 606 $aPatronage 606 $aMicrohistory 606 $aWallachia 606 $aMoldavia 606 $aOttoman Empire 606 $aHabsburg Monarchy 606 $aLoyalty 615 4$aidentity 615 4$aSelf-Fashioning 615 4$aNetwork 615 4$aPatronage 615 4$aMicrohistory 615 4$aWallachia 615 4$aMoldavia 615 4$aOttoman Empire 615 4$aHabsburg Monarchy 615 4$aLoyalty 676 $a305.800904 700 $aVintila$b Constanta$4aut$01559160 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910776172203321 996 $aChanging subjects, moving objects$93824055 997 $aUNINA
