Acknowledgments
It goes without saying that there are many people who deserve my sincere gratitude for their kind assistance, help, encouragement and patience during the course of my research for this project. With the certainty of falling short, I want to thank the following persons and organisations specifically.
My supervisor Joep Leerssen and co-supervisor Dennis Deletant, whose comments, remarks and suggestions were invaluable; the New Europe College in Bucharest, which generously granted me their ‘Europa’ Fellowship from October 2008 until February 2009, thus enabling me to conduct my research in Bucharest and Suceava; Dorin Dobrincu, Șerban Marin and Ligia-Maria Fodor from the Romanian National Archives for guiding me through their labyrinth of manuscripts; Ştefan Purici from Suceava’s Ştefan cel Mare University for his input and his logistic support; Halyna Borisivna Navrots’ka and Valentyna Vasylova from the International department of Chernivtsi’s Yuriy Fedkovych University for arranging lodgings in the university’s facilities; Maria Mykhailovna from the Chernivtsi District Regional Archives for the amazing number of files she dug up for me during the short periods of my stays; Karolina Jakobets’ from the Chernivtsi University Library for her patient guidance through the puzzling system of the newspaper register; Tamara Scheer from Vienna University, whose suggestions enabled me to track down the documents of the Austrian censorship authorities; Christoph Tepperberg and Roman Hans Gröger from the Austrian State Archives who provided me access to them; Constantin Iordachi, Michael Miller, Markian Prokopovych (CEU Budapest), Mariana Hausleitner (Munich), Catherine Horel (Paris), Florea Ioncioaia, Andrei Corbea-Hoişie (Iaşi) and Markus Winkler (Berlin/Iaşi) for their valuable advice; Karl Hall (Budapest) for his continuous sponsorship of my access to the Central European University library resources; Radu-Alexandru Răuţă (Leuven) for providing me with urban planning maps of Czernowitz; Oleksandr Shtokvych (Budapest) for making the introductions for me at the International Department of Chernivtsi’s Yuriy Fedkovych University; Serhiy Zaitsev (Kyiv) for shedding light on quite a number of proto-Ukrainian linguistic riddles; Henk Delger (Nijmegen), Ilka Döhler (Berlin), my mother Wil van Herpen (Nijmegen), Alexander Maxwell (Wellington), Dirk Thuijs (Haarlem), David Rechter (Oxford), Helle G. Snell (Aarhus) and James Walker (Waterloo, ON) for their valuable comments on my draft texts; my other friends and family for their relentless support; and, of course, Lennard de Klerk, whose seemingly self-evident backing in every possible way is the very cornerstone of this work.
