Summary/Abstract: This article illustrates the typological variety of Question and response in old Romanian literature. With a view to systematisation, the religious/ secular distinction has been taken into account, and within this, the functionality and end purpose of the texts comprising this literature in Romania. The religious texts have been broken down into two categories: canonic (relating to Christian doctrine, religious controversy, ecclesiastical law, exegesis or moral edification) and apocrypha. The end purpose of the majority of the secular texts is predominantly didactic, which is not to disregard the development of this genre of in relation to the celebrated models of Latin and Byzantine literature.
