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.

Ritka, hogy elődeink ilyen sok, szám szerint 4, egymástól igencsak különböző történelmi korszakot éltek át. Nekem most itt Musnai László életéről és munkásságáról kell megemlékeznem. Nem sokat kellett elmélkednem afelett, hogy miként különítsem el életének egyes korszakait, mert a történelem megtette helyettem.
