Summary/Abstract: As member of the research team Wallachian and Moldavian Testaments (from the 17th century to the first half of the 19th): social, patrimonial and religious implications I revived an older project of mine, of editing some Moldavian testaments from the 17th and the 18th centuries. The present study comprises a first group of such documents, including 17 testaments. Of these, 11 are edited for the first time (at least to my best knowledge!), 4 are published for the second time (hopefully, in an improved version!), while 2 of them had been previously known only through some summaries. Each document is accompanied by an analytical and historical introduction, consisting of brief comments on the witness list and on the social, patrimonial and moral issues involving the testators and their families.
