Rumanía
Most of 17th century Romanian lexicography is represented by adaptations of the Slavonic-Ukrainian Lexicon published by Pamvo Berynda (Kiev, 1627). There are six known Slavonic-Romanian lexicons dating from this time plus a fragmented one, all in manuscript. Out of these, only two have been studied in their entirety : Mardarie’s Lexicon from Cozia Monastery (1649) and the so-called « Cipariu Lexicon ». The others are only partially known as they have not yet been transcripted from Cyrillic into Latin script. This article discusses the connections between these lexicons and their relationship to their shared source, as well as the purpose of their compilation. It also gives a critical analysis of the established hypotheses in the literature and suggests new ones.
