description The article discusses the issue of anachronism in historical writing, considering both types of discourse that this one deals with: the historian’s language and the language that comes out directly from sources and each historical epoch. Why do some current historiographical concepts adapt so well to the analysis of different historical times, while others, quite the opposite, sound so inadequate? The intention is to understand these questions by reflecting on the possibilities of generalization – both diachronic and synchronic – of the concepts. Specific historical examples are discussed in order to substantiate the more general reflections on this topic.
