Colecția Blaj a Bibliotecii Filialei Academiei Române din Cluj reprezintă un important vestigiu cultural al greco-catolicismului din Ardeal. Nucleul bibliotecii este format din colecția mănăstirii basilitane ctitorite în 1747 cu hramul Sfintei Treimi. În același an a început activitatea seminarului diecezan. Se pare că cele două instituții au avut o bibliotecă comună. Cărțile au fost inventariate pentru prima dată în 1752. Materialul prezentat face parte dintr-o cercetare mai amplă, care vizează descrierea operelor teologilor protestanți din secolul XVI păstrate în colecțiile istorice din Ardeal. În Colecția Blaj a Bibliotecii Filialei Cluj a Academiei Române se găsesc 421 de tipărituri din secolul XVI.

Although György Enyedi’s (1555-1597) posthumous exegetical masterpiece Explicationes (Cluj, 1598) did not contain any explicit statements on political thinking, his Hungarian sermons testify his theoretical interest towards political philosophy. The paper focuses on sermons 67, 68 and 184, wherein Enyedi formulates his version of natural law. Due to his antitrinitarian theological presuppositions and his philosophical anthropology deeply inherent in the former, Enyedi’s position does not match fully the standard versions of natural law of his time. on the one hand, Enyedi’s approach proves to be much more intellectual in character than the voluntaristic correction of Thomist natural law in Scholastic-Suáresian theory. on the other hand, the antitrinitarian dismissal of original sin as a chief anthropological motif results in differences from the protestant natural law tradition, as Melanchthon developed it in the 1530s.

Ha azt a számtalan sok kérdést, amely naponként ostromolja az emberi lelket, mindig összefogóbb kérdésekre vezetjük vissza, végre egyetlenegy nagy és rendkivüli kérdéshez jutunk: Kicsoda az Isten ? — A tudományos gondolkozás végső nagy szintézise: a filozófia sok mindenről beszél, de végső eredményében csak egyetlenegy nagy kérdésre keres feleletet, amelyet tétovázás nélkül ismét csak így fogalmazhatunk meg: Kicsoda az Isten? — Olyan nagy és rendkivüli ez a kérdés, hogy ezt nemcsak az emberi értelem és ész adja fel, hanem maga az egész emberi exisztencia. Az emberi exisztencia nem is más, mint Isten után kérdező valóság. Egyetlenegy nagy kérdés, amelyre egyetlenegy felelet van: Isten!
