Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to an Old Testament apocrypha – the Testament of Abraham – and its presence, its importance and its functions in the convoy of a predominantly legal and polemical antiheretical collection compiled in the Principality of Moldova in the 16th century (BAR, Ms. Sl. 636). The first part of the article presents a deuterocanonical text, its variants, its history and the language in which it was created, and the environment in which it arose. Particular attention is paid to the translations of THE TESTAMENT OF ABRAHAM. Of course, the emphasis is on the Slavonic-language tradition of the text as well as on its convoy in the manuscripts through which we know it. Finally, the original Slavic text is published, with an interpretation of the individual chapters in relation to the Greek prototype of the work.
