*****GK: I'm afraid I don't have this. Could you give
us a brief summary of its theses? Does it provide
evidence of cultural continuity between "Roman Dacia"
south of the Danube, and the territories north of the
Danube later populated by Romanians? Remember that
this is the main argument of "The Vlach connection",
viz., that a substantial and continuous population
movement from "Roman Dacia" towards Transylvania and
adjacent areas after 602 AD (and long before the 12th
c.)is what explains (or could explain) the transition
from the older Dacian speech to the Romanian speech
north of the Danube.*****
