Abstract:
| | The present paper is part of research dedicated to the history of communications, and through this text we tried to address some of the messengers present in late medieval society (XV-XVII centuries). In Moldavian space we cannot speak of a system of messengers like in Western Europe, however, the central authority tried to organize certain people to carry the news and letters. The first messengers that appeared in the documents of the time were called olăcari, and they went with news and letters from the prince, being people very close to him, whom he trusted. Starting with the 16th-17th centuries, the messengers know a diversification, but in the present study we focus only on the olăcari category.
