Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to highlight the nine ways of naming the Bible, as they appear in "Hronograf den începutul lumii" (Chronicle from the beginning of the world, Ms. no. 3517), a translation from Greek made, in my view (supported by a rich argumentation with many linguistic and philological elements) by Nicolae Milescu Spătarul. Since the translator, a great scholar and polyglot, is also a good connoisseur of religious matters, the text constitutes a valuable source for the study of the names of the sacred text, as they were used in the ancient Romanian culture.
