Summary/Abstract: In this study we aim to present the cultural context and sources that determined the publication of the Bible in 1688. This is a monument of ancient Romanian literature and the result of patronage and work undertaken by several famous names of the political and cultural environment of the time. At the same time, in the present lines we intend to make a historical and heraldic analysis of the poem to the coat of arms, as well as of the coats of arms found in the Cantacuzin and Brâncoveanu editions of the Bible of 1688.
