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.

Miklós Telegdi, a Roman Catholic bishop of the reformation period, was an important figure of his generation. The confessional guide of his Agendarius, first published in 1583 in nagyszombat (Trnava, now in Slovakia), is particular as to its structure and content. in Hungary, this is the first penitential guide that was written in a unique style, including vernacular parts and containing exhortations in a large number. The confessional includes a text discussing the strict obligation on the seal of confession as well as a confession mirror which, according to its genre, is a tool of individual self-examination. In my paper, I attempt to answer the question whether Telegdi’s confessional guide is only unique from a national point of view or also in a wider, international context.

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.

Az utóbbi 20 évben komoly változások történtek a biztonság- és védelempolitika tekintetében. Manapság egyre többet hallunk az iszlám és a Nyugat közötti problémákról. Ezért szeretnék átfogó jelleggel foglalkozni az iszlám és a Nyugat történelmi és jelenkori kapcsolatainak és konfliktusainak bemutatásával. Foglalkozom az iszlám fundamentalizmussal, amely napjaink egyik legjelentősebb kihívása. Arra próbálok feleletet adni, hogy miként és miért harapózhatott el a radikális iszlám világ Nyugat- és Amerika-gyűlölete, mennyiben ölt ez vallási köntöst, és mennyire vehető komolyan a missziói jellege, tehát mennyiben irracionális, következésképpen milyen esélye van megállításának nyugati módszerekkel. Az iszlám tényleg a béke vallása-e? Az muszlim hittudósok és tömegek nagy része valóban annak szeretné látni. Vajon hány Oszama bin Laden támad még, aki az általános szegénység és a többi társadalmi probléma orvoslását egyedül a Nyugat kíméletlen elpusztításában véli megtalálni?
