Summary/Abstract: The handwritten or printed book has been a precious cultural and material heritage in the past. Not infrequently, the people of those times, whether they were private individuals or members of communities and institutions, took care to write down the books, as patrimonial goods, in wills, dowry sheets, wealth registers and inventories. This movable patrimony, perishable and always affected by disturbances of any kind, is today an important historical source, both by the existence of these books and by the impressive treasure of information offered by the notes on their pages. Our main objective is to make an inventory of the books that constituted, in the 18th-19th centuries, the patrimony, probably lost today, of the church of Saints Teodori from Iaşi. With the help of the notes on their pages, we also tried to reconstruct some fragments of the history of the church from the Târgul de Sus area of Iaşi.
