The last decades have witnessed a growing interest in Romania to old books published in the Romanian language. Numerous studies and articles have been devoted to this issue. In Chisinau, on the contrary, less attention has been paid to researching these valuable sources of Romanian culture, especially those books which were printed in such known publishing and printing centers as Bucureşti, Râmnic, Blaj, and Sibiu and which are kept today in various libraries and museums of the Republic of Moldova. A small number of Romanian old books, which are of great literary and historical value, are kept in the collection of the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History of the Republic of Moldova. This article presents 31 ancient books in the Romanian language with numerous marginalia, which have been carefully deciphered by our researchers.
