Summary/Abstract: In the recent years, mostly after the publication of the document collection regarding the history of the city of Iași in the 15th-18th centuries, the studies dedicated to the Moldavian capital have increased in both number and quantity. Whereas this collection comprises a multitude of documents found in the public archives of the country, in older collections and in the Romanian archive of Protaton (Mount Athos), many such documents are still unpublished. Within the last category, I discovered – even while working to gather the documentary material for the first three volumes of the collection of Iași-related documents and in the subsequent years – several dozens of documents from the second half of the 17th century, as well as several hundreds pertaining to the 18th century, all of them unpublished, which I thus begin publishing. The purpose is to gather them all within one independent volume in a few years. Hence, this group of documents comprises 50 documents related to the history of Iași before 1800, stored in three collections within the National Archives of Bucharest: 22 in the Vasile Adamachi Collection (1-22), 22 in the Moldavian Documents Collection (29-50) and 6 in the Vasile Bosie Collection (23-28). These records concern houses and house places in Iași (mostly the Adamachi, Bosie and Cerchez houses), and their “files” also contain other records concerning the 19th century, too. They may constitute individual research topics, of course.
