Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the orthographic system used in Lexiconul de la Buda, which is, essentially, the system put forward by Petru Maior in Orthographia romana sive latino-valachica, una cum clavi. Maior checks the first part (A – H) and corrects the spelling, so that it corresponds to the orthographic norms he had established. After his death, the editing of the lexicon is taken over by Alexandru Teodori and Ioan Teodorovici. Although the system is the same, the second part of the lexicon is characterized by inconsistencies: the paper aims at presenting and explaining the reasons why these discrepancies appeared.
