Summary/Abstract: The New Testament from Bălgrad (1648) has known a large distribution on the Romanian land by being quoted, copied or included in the religious texts of the epoch. A review of this text was included in The Bible from Bucharest (1688). The results presented in this research prove that there was also another more detailed review, published in The Gospel dating from 1682. This first edition of the Romanian Gospel was improved and republished by Antim Ivireanul in 1697. The edition from 1697 was constantly republished in the printing centers belonging to the Romanian regions until the 19th century. Therefore, the New Testament, translated and printed in Alba Iulia, stays as the basis of the textual tradition of the Gospel.
