Summary/Abstract: Just like the history of any other field of activity, the history of law in general and Romanian law, in particular, has undeniable importance in the study of legal sciences as a whole. In the stated context, the history of Romanian law is a historical, legal but also philological discipline with the aim of reconstructing, in general terms, the theoretical aspect and practical applications of legal institutions throughout history, as they were thought and applied by the ancestors of ours in the historical environment in which they lived. Expression of the feudal arrangement in the geographical space of Transylvania, the right belonging to the voivodship established under conditions similar to those that determined the appearance of the Wallachia and Moldavia, continues to be at the foundation of the political organization of the Romanians in the principality of Transylvania.
