  Abstract:  Gheorghe Perian’s book reopens a series of discussions upon the known history of the Romanian literature. Following the chronological timeline he brings forward some unpublished aspects of a literature descending from Dosoftei. The author believes that injustice has been made in the case of this writer and scholar, Dosoftei, when his oeuvre has been categorized as nothing more than a lyrical, folk influenced translation of the Psalms. On the contrary, argues Perian, the work of Dosoftei starts with a prose version of the original Slavonic version of the text taken into consideration. His ambition was to render as clear as possible the message of the Psalms and alongside with that he got the chance to practice a poetic terminology, adorned with cryptic images and hieratic figures. This first milestone chosen by Perian is emblematic for the whole book, because it shows a tendency to take up debatable themes as a philologist would be expected to do. And he does so in the four chapters of the book.
