Az Érkeserűi Református Egyházközség úrasztali pohara eredetileg tányér volt, amelyet a 19. század elején olvasztottak be, s anyagából kelyhet készítettek. A 16. század utolsó harmadától nyomon követhető története szorosan összefonódik az egyházközség és a helybeli birtokos családok, különösen a Suselith-Horváth család történetével. A tanulmány levéltári források és forráskiadványok segítségével korrigálja, illetve kiegészíti a korábbi, szakirodalmi adatokat. Bemutatja, hogy kik voltak a műtárgy eredeti tulajdonosai, hogyan került a későbbi adományozóhoz, mi volt az adományozás társadalmi háttere. Kitér az érintett családtagok és a reformált egyház kapcsolatára.

Rezumând atitudinea terapeuților față de bunăstare, putem constata că această comunitate a ridicat la un nivel atât de înalt valorile spirituale, încât a ignorat absolut tot ce aparține vieții zilnice obișnuite. Ei s-au străduit la înmulțirea bo-găției înțelepciunii (par. 16–17, 20) și a valorilor spirituale. În rândul acestei co-munități meditațiile asupra Sfintelor Scripturi, a cărților sfinte proprii, precum și asupra înțelepciunii dumnezeiești (par. 1, 28–30, 67) sunt absolut primordiale, din care rezultă retragerea din lume și disprețuirea totală a bogăției pământești.

Scout Movement in Transylvania. This study is a presentation about the history of the scout movement in Transylvania. The Hungarian scout movement in Transylvania started in 1911.

After 1940, when a part of Transylvania was connected to Hungary again, the Hungarian scout movement in Transylvania has also revived. The scout started many kind of good projects. They became a useful part of the society. The centre of the scout movement by that time was Kolozsvár.

Psalm-singing in the Community of Therapeutae Based on De vita contemplativa by Philo of Alexandria. The Therapeutae’s ascetic devotion is characterized not only by searching the scriptures, meditation and prayer but also by singing of hymns and psalms. Hymns were composed by the principals of the community, they were those who taught the community members to sing them and they continually enriched the hymnal with new ones. The Essenes’ and Therapeutae’s psalm-singing indicates first of all the common Old Testament origin. However these religious communities had different self-identity from that of the normative Jews and this identity required for a special psalm-poetry to be accomplished. The Therapeutae’s psalms remind us of the church psalm-tradition characterized, just like the Essene hymns, by responsive singing and refrains.
