Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to address the issue of monarchy by divine right in The Teachings of Neagoe Basarab to His Son Theodosius, which, due to its defining role in the most important work of the Romanian Middle Ages, allows one to observe how Saint Neagoe Basarab bases his teachings on references to the Holy Scriptures and to the Old Testament in particular. Furthermore, the chosen topic allows one to also understand the specific pillars of Slavic Byzantine Eastern theological culture which Neagoe Basarab highlights authentically and originally in his remarkable work.
