The paper aims to investigate the cultural context reflected by the largest dictionary of old Romanian lexicography, Teodor Corbea’s Latin-Romanian dictionary (Dictiones Latinae cum Valachica interpretatione) written between the years 1691–1702. It was compiled in the context of a special interest in the history and culture of Greek-Latin humanism to which the most important Romanian personalities of the time (Miron Costin, Dimitrie Cantemir and Constantin Cantacuzino) contributed. The dictionary has a large number of entries on ancient culture. Similarly, this research aims to emphasize the conflict between Slavic-Byzantine culture and West-inspired humanism.
