Summary/Abstract: The article aims at presenting the illustration of the Old Romanian Book collection from the patrimony of the Library of the Romanian Academy, from the 18th century, found in books published in Wallachia. The approach has an interdisciplinary character that involves fields such as history, book history and fine arts (wood engraving). The study presents a selection of illustrations from representative books in the patrimony of the Library of the Romanian Academy from the 18th century, resulting in the iconographic description and identification of the connection between the image and the biblical message. The presentation of the woodcuts is based on the research undertaken in order to support the doctoral thesis.
