%X Our paper is a study of Romanian legal terminology, in particular with respect toinheritance law, before the Civil Code was adopted, in 1869. Through an analysis of documentsand legal texts dealing with inheritance issues, dating back to before the 18th century, it has beenpossible to observe that religious and popular terminology was used to designate legal concepts.Some of the terms were local, thers were borrowed from Slavic languages. It was only in the 18thcentury that proper legal terminology was introduced in Romanian, mostly of Byzantine-Greekorigin; this can be explained by the socio-historical context of the time.
