The article intends to present some facts about the medieval history of the Saxons in the Wallachian town of Câmpulung Muscel/Langenau. German-speaking colonists were settled in Langenau around the 13th century, and their traces can be followed until the middle of the 18th century. A German language document from the 16th century will serve as an illustration, depicting the relations between the Transylvanian Saxons from Râșnov/Rosenau and the population of Câmpulung Muscel/Langenau. The linguistic peculiarities of the document are discussed, as well as the problems of its transcription, which led to different publication variants. This document is also interesting because it contains many Romanian names of persons.

The paper manuscript Ital. 67, dating to the 16th century, is acephalous and contains a history of Venice from 1106 to the 15th century. The story ends, in fact, by mentioning the noble captain Piero Loredan (1372 - 28 October 1438). The codex belonged to the Ward M. Canaday couple, who donated it to the Houghton library in 1964. The paper manuscript Ital. 178 dates to the XV century (the term post quem is 1417) and contains a history of Venice from the origins to the fifteenth century. It is mutilated in the final part. The codex belonged first to Walter Sneyd (1809-1888), then to Charles William Previté-Orton (1877-1947).
