Abstract:
| | The present paper is part of wider research on the history of communications and it is focused on some of the messengers in late Moldavian medieval society (15th– 17th centuries). In the Moldavian space, we cannot speak of a system of messengers like in Western Europe; however, the monarchy tried to organize a post service employing specialized personnel to deliver news and letters. The first messengers who were mentioned in the documents of the time were called ola cari, and they dispatched news and letters from the prince, being people very close to him, whom he trusted.
