Summary/Abstract: The texts of science popularization elaborated by the Transylvanian scholars present a high amount of specific terms in various fields of science. The aim of this study is to investigate the field of biology (botany and zoology). In order to present the biological terminology, we have established and analyzed four lexical categories: lexical borrowings, loan-translations, translations (compound words, syntagms, periphrases) and old, traditional terms. It also presents a high weight of synonymic series, made up of two or more synonyms.
