His publishing activity continued at a steady pace during that year, when he first presided over the Romanian School of Fontenay-aux-Roses; he issued the two volumes of "Histoire des roumains et de leur civilisation" ("The History of the Romanians and Their Civilization") and the three tomes of "Istoria românilor prin călătorii" ("The History of the Romanians in Travels"), alongside "Ideea Daciei românești" ("The Idea of a Romanian Dacia"), "Istoria Evului Mediu" ("The History of the Middle Ages") and some other scholarly works. His biographical studies were mainly focused on his nationalist predecessor Mihail Kogălniceanu. Iorga also resumed his writing for the stage, with two new drama plays: one centered on the Moldavian ruler Constantin Cantemir ("Cantemir bătrânul", "Cantemir the Elder"), the other dedicated to, and named after, Brâncoveanu. Centering his activity as a public speaker in Transylvanian cities, Iorga was also involved in projects to organize folk theaters throughout the country, through which he intended to spread a unified cultural message. The year also brought his presence at the funeral of A. D. Xenopol.
