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.

This article argues that Isaiah's so-called ‘refrain poem’ (Kehrvergedicht) in Isa. 9.7–20 is a composite text, going back to two early prophecies with different concerns. Isaiah 9.7–17* focused originally on the arrogant refusal of the divine word, while Isa. 9.18–20* reflected on the chaotic social circumstances in Samaria in the eighth century. The refrains in vv. 9,11cd, 16ef and 20cd were added to these two already connected prophecies at a later stage. The theological summary in v. 12 is yet another addition, closely affiliated with 5.24–25. Unlike v. 12, the refrains do not have the repentance of Israel in view, nor its final destruction, but the fall of Assyria in Isa. 10.5–15, 24–27. The refrains support the theory that the Isaianic collection was formed by means of reusing, restructuring and reinterpreting earlier material. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0309089216690385

In studies on the composition of prophetic literature, the larger textual layers reinterpreting earlier texts, the so-called Fortschreibungen, received much attention. It is well-known that beside these larger literary elaborations prophetic books also contain shorter explanatory interpolations, often called glosses, which intend to clarify a particular imagery of the prophecy (e.g., Isa 9:14). A systematic reading of these short annotations has been neglected, however, in studying the formation of prophetic books. The present article reconsiders the Isaiah-Memoir from this perspective. It identifies editorial interpolations in three distinct pericopes, Isa 8:2, 8:6-7a and 8:23b. It is argued here that the identification of such explanatory additions is the key to understanding notorious textual complexities. Moreover, it points out that these interpolations tend to expose recognisable patterns and common hermeneutical principles.

A román reformáció kérdésével, gyakorló-lelkipásztori és vallás-tanító-lelkészi súlyos elfoglaltságom mellett, éveken át foglalkoztam. Közben a kérdés összefoglalása és tisztázása érdekében komoly munkák jelentek meg, de ezek dacára sem tartottam feleslegesnek jelen dolgozatomat elkészíteni és közreadni.

Ez a könyv tulajdonképen kísérlet, amelyet eredetileg egy gyakorlati szükség váltott ki. A kolozsvári teológiai fakultás egyik módszeres értekezletén merült fel az a gondolat, hogy a teológiai hallgatók számára szükséges lenne gondoskodni arról, hogy teológiai tanulmányaik és az egyház jelen élete kérdései között a kapcsolat világosabban álljon előttük, hogy azok, akik a teológiai tanulmányok folyamán megismerkednek az Ige szolgálatának alapvető követelményeivel, lássák azt is, hogy ez a szolgálat milyen feladatokat állít eléjük abban az egyházban, ahol szolgálnak, annak mindennapi életében, a világban elfoglalt helyzetében s azokban a gyülekezetekben, ahol az Igét hirdetniök kell.
