Keywords: Chronograph; Mihail Moxa; morphology

Summary/Abstract: The linguistic features of the morphological domain used by Mihail Moxa in Chronograph (1620), are characterized by the existence of some phenomena specific to the place of origin of the Oltenian monk; there are, nevertheless, a number of features that can be explained through the Northern variants of old literary Romanian, taken over through the transition zone of North-West Oltenia. Belonging to historical literature, the manuscript is written in a period dominated by the appearance of the religious texts and, unlike these, Moxa’s writing is open to the innovations occurring in dialects.
