Summary/Abstract: After visiting the Catholic parishes from Moldavia in the 17th century, the bishop Marcus Bandinus wrote a report in Latin, known as Codex Bandinus, in which he presented not only the situation of the Catholics from here, but also details regarding the organization of the state, the history, geography, beliefs and traditions of the people, occasionally approaching other aspects, such as the ones connected to the children raising and education and also the level of education of the local people. Despite some acid remarks, the writing of Marcus Bandinus remains, together with other notes of foreign visitors in our Romanian Countries, one of the important sources of knowledge regarding the realities of Moldavia during the voivode Vasile Lupu, and the offered data contribute to the knowledge of evolution of Romanian education in all its forms.
