Summary/Abstract: The “corpus” of Romanian texts written in the 16th century consisted so far of 117 documents, all of them already published. The author of the present article adds three more texts composed in Transylvania. As forms of written communication, the new additions include a letter (1578), a fiscal receipt (“ţidula”, dated August 14th, 1600), and a personal annotation on an official document issued on February 4th, 1598. All these documents are thoroughly analyzed from a diplomatic point of view, with a specific focus on the formulary and their semi-cursive palaeographic features. There are also additional observations concerning linguistic, lexical and grammar elements.
