This is a study of Isaiah 18-20, three chapters in the so-called Isaianic prophecies concerning the nations, Isaiah 13-23 (24-27). Beyond being located close to each other in this literary corpus, there is at least one common element that ties these three chapters together: Isaiah 18-20 deal with two neighbouring countries of the Nile, Kush and Egypt respectively. The two lands were politically closely related in the era of the prophet Isaiah, so that addressing them in proximity to each other should not be surprising in a book set in the period of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1). Through a detailed analysis of the three chapters I hope to contribute to a better understanding of the collection of prophecies on the nations in the book of Isaiah and, more remotely, of the wider phenomenon of prophecies concerning the nations, so prevalent in the Hebrew Bible.

Ezen tanulmány azoknak a 16–17. századi református énekeknek a történetét vizsgálja, amelyek az újabb énekeskönyv-kiadásokból kimaradtak, de közben a nép nem hagyta feledésbe merülni, hanem továbbra is fenntartotta, megőrizte és különböző formákban átörökítette. A rövid történeti és fogalmi vizsgálódás után tanulmányom egy konkrét népi dallamot és annak elemzését mutatja be.
