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.

Ahhoz, hogy az állam és az egyház közötti kapcsolatok legújabb kori összefüggéseit elemezni tudjuk, elkerülhetetlen az éppen ebben a kapcsolatrendszerben komoly változásokat, mély sérüléseket hozó totalitárius diktatúrák, illetve a hátterükben meghúzódó totalitárius ideológiák világával való összeütközés vizsgálata.
