The Saxon doctor and scientist Andreas Wolf (1741 - 1812) was born in Cristian commune, Sibiu county, studied for 3 years in Vienna and defended his doctorate in Erlangen (Germany), but practiced medicine in Iasi between 1788-1795. He was a highly regarded physician of the Royal Court and of the Moldavian nobility. The book has two volumes and was published in Sibiu in 1805. The first volume contains information about the geographical, social, economic and medical description of that period in Moldova, while volume two describes the political situation, listing the rulers and their achievements. The book has not been translated into Romanian, although it is cited by several specialists in various fields.
