The magazine was first published in Budapest, Hungary from 1902 to 1906. Octavian C. Tăslăuanu became the director of the magazine in 1904, and subsequently moved its publishing to Sibiu (then also in Hungary) from 1906 to 1914.[2] The final issue in this format was published on 16 June 1914.
The magazine was briefly re-launched from Bucharest, Romania, and ran from January 1919[3] to April 1920.[4] It returned to Sibiu, now within Romania's borders, from 1934 to 1939.
Following the Second World War, a magazine under the same title was edited by Mircea Eliade and Virgil Ierunca from France, aimed at members of the anti-communist Romanian exile.
Names associated with the first series include Alexandru Ciura, Octavian Goga, Ion Agârbiceanu, Horia Petra Petrescu, Octavian Codru Tăslăuanu, Ioan Lupaş, Aurel Paul Bănuţ and Zaharia Bârsan.[5]
