Summary/Abstract: It is worth noting in this study that “Vita Constantini” was mirrored, after a thousand years, in Eftimie of Târnovo's "Praise of the Great Saints with the Apostles Constantine and Elena”. It is also worth added that the work of the Bulgarian patriarch then found a moment of rest in Wallachia, through the "Teachings of Neagoe Basarab to his son, Theodosius", in the extensive "Story for the Great Constantine Emperor." Starting with Eusebius of Caesarea's Panegyric, the current study will attempt to demonstrate, as previously stated, that neither time nor distance could prevent the birth and spread of the Constantinian tradition, as a Slavic-Romanian tradition, despite the fact that, for all three works mentioned above, there have been more or less malicious comments regarding their AUTHENTICITY, DATE, and ORIGINALITY.
