Bishop Damaschin of Râmnic (†1725) translated into Romanian almost all the Orthodox liturgical books — the Octoechos, the Triodion, the Pentecostarion, the Miney, the Apostol, the Gospel Book, The Commentary of Theophylact —, drawing on Greek, Church Slavonic and Latin editions; whilst for the New Testament books he relied on the commentaries of St John Chrysostom and St Theophylact, thereby ensuring the patristic accuracy of the translation. His enlightened style, attested to by Chesarie of Râmnic, Radu Tempea and Constantin Erbiceanu, established the Muntenian dialect as the standard for literary and liturgical Romanian; his translations remain in use to this day.
