Az itt közölt szöveg a kolozsvári kollégium tanácsa által 1786-ban kidolgozott etikai kódex. Az 1780-as évek az iskolai kódexek kora voltak. Ebben az időszakban a Habsburg Birodalom uralkodója elrendelte az oktatás központosítását. Ezért az Erdélyi Református Egyházkerület a kollégium és a népoktatás átfogó átszervezésére készült. Ez a szabályzat egyedülálló, és a nemesek és uralkodók szellemi hagyatékához hasonlítható. Fontos jellemzője, hogy csak nemesi származású fiataloknak szánták, és valószínűleg emiatt nem is alkalmazták.

The Disputation of Pécs (Pécsi Disputa) by György Válaszúti is a unique segment of 16th-century antitrinitarian literature. Since pécs was occupied by the Ottoman empire, Christians had to live by strict rules. They had to live outside the city walls, and they could only use one church. The dispute is a chronicle of a religious debate between the reformed citizens of tolna and the antitrinitarian citizens of Pécs.

In this study, I examine the works of ars praedicandi as used by the Unitarians. The paper focuses on the Unitarian use of the works of Bartholomaeus Keckermann, who attributed an important role to the exordium. The paper further registers an 18th-century Unitarian reader of Keckermann’s rhetoric, found in a composite volume in the Library of the Cluj-Napoca Branch of the Romanian Academy. This work’s earlier impact can also be studied in a Unitarian manuscript revision created as early as in 1653. There is another Unitarian work (Ms. U. 262) on sermon making from this period, a part of which contains examples of exordiums, that is, introductory parts of sermons. Based on all this, I argue that the exordiums were handled much more leniently by the Unitarians than by other Reformed denominations, and that from the late Renaissance to the 18th century, Unitarians were practitioners of a rather traditional type of preaching.

According to Gen 1, the “classical” story of the origin of humanity, God began and finished the creation of man on the sixth day. In this view, creation is a one-time divine act dated to the dawn of history. Psalm 139,13-16 provides an alternative concept regarding human origins. The ideas permeating this Psalm are less widespread in the Bible, and they were far less influential for later theological works than the classical biblical accounts of creation. Nonetheless, these anthropological notions appear to be firmly rooted in folk religion. Making lavish use of motifs familiar from ancient Near Eastern mythological texts, the poem considers that a divine act of creation is performed in the process of birth of every individual. In contrast to the historicising interpretations of Gen 1-2, this text emphasises the personal character of creation. The present study examines the philological problems in Ps 139,13-16, as well as the Near Eastern background of its language.

1791 és 1793 között zajló, Endemann-perként ismert tanfegyelmi kivizsgálás az erdélyi református ortodoxia utolsó kísérlete volt a két évszázadig tartó teológiai irányzat fenntartására. A per történetével mindössze két tanulmány foglalkozott. 1973-ban Juhász István Christian Wolff és az erdélyi református teológia című tanulmányának egyik alfejezetében röviden ismertette a Zilahi Sebes János és Bodola János ellen 1791-ben indított tanfegyelmi eljárást. Juhász István úgy vélte, hogy a Zilahi és Bodola ellen indított kivizsgálás a wolffianus filozófia erdélyi térhódítását próbálta meggátolni. Kutatása nem terjedt ki a református ortodoxia vizsgálatára, de ugyanakkor rámutatott a teológiai felvilágosodás jelentőségére.
