Summary/Abstract: There are still unpublished papers written in the Slav language within the National Archives of Hungary in Budapest, concerning the history of Wallachia and Moldavia. Some time ago dr. Adrian Magina (Museum of the Mountainous Banat) discovered three Slav papers in Sólyom Fekete Ferenc Collection in the Magyar National Archives (Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár Oszágos Levéltára), and kindly put them at my disposal. All my gratitude here inserted too. Two of those papers belong to the 16th century (May 26, 1571, and June 4, 1592), and the other one to the 17th century (May 31, 1620), emitted in Bucharest and Târgoviște: all of them cast light both upon the history of some localities in Wallachia, still existing (Bujoreni, Vâlcea County), or lost (Orbi, Gorj County) and the history of some families of boyards (Olănescu), and the general history of Wallachia through completing and improving our knowledge on some of the 16th century’s voievodes (Alexandru II Mircea, Ștefan Surdul) and the 17th (Gavril Movilă).
