direkt politikai következményei voltak ennek a német akadémiai "történésznek" a kijelentéseinek

August Ludwig Schlözer (1735–1809) and others in German academic circles, that Romanians had a Slavic rather than Roman origin. The migration of Romanians from south to north of the Danube would also have cast doubt on the claim to noble Roman origin and the continuity of habitation of the territory of Dacia. Such apparently minor historical points had a profound political significance; for to attribute a Slavic origin to the Romanians was to undermine the historical case for Romanian demands for political rights being made in the 1791 petition filled by Romanian intellectuals from the Monarchy entitled Supplex Libellus Valachorum.²⁴
