The work by the Moldavian metropolitan Dosoftei that helped foster a more flexible Romanian prose style is his Viața și petrecerea sfinților ("Lives of the Saints"), published between 1682 and 1686. In this significant text, Dosoftei incorporated popular idioms, which encouraged the development of a more adaptable and expressive form of prose in Romanian literature.1
