Wallachia or Walachia is a historical and geographical region of modern-day Romania. It is situated north of the Lower Danube and south of the Southern Carpathians. Wallachia was traditionally divided into two sections, Muntenia and Oltenia. Dobruja could sometimes be considered a third section due to its proximity and brief rule over it. Wallachia as a whole is sometimes referred to as Muntenia through identification with the larger of the two traditional sections.

Mihai or Mihail Iștvanovici, also known as Ișvanovici, Iștanovici, Ștefanovici or Stepaneshvili, was a Wallachian typographer, letter cutter, typeface designer, Eastern Orthodox clergyman and poet, mainly noted for his work in the Kingdom of Kartli. His early life is entirely obscure, but possibly tied to the Transylvanian Principality, and his surname has been read by some authors as indicative of a more or less distant Hungarian origin—though his presumed father was a Serb. His debut as a printer was registered at Snagov Monastery, outside the Wallachian capital of Bucharest, but in 1699 he was active at Alba Iulia in Transylvania. Sent there by the Wallachian prince Constantin Brâncoveanu, who reinforced links with the Transylvanian Romanians, Iștvanovici put out the first-ever textbook in the Romanian language. He disappeared from Transylvanian records soon after, possibly due to increased pressures for a communion with Rome—which Brâncoveanu and Iștvanovici opposed.
