Summary/Abstract: The vocabulary used by Mihail Moxa in the 1620 Cronograph is characterised by the existence of some lexical elements specific to the author’s native area, but there are a number of linguistic features explicable by the northern variants of old literary Romanian. In the first part of the 17th century, the vocabulary reflects the cultural horizon of those who wrote an enriched form as compared to the previous century, open to the innovations occurring in the dialects.
