Eduard Böhl, a 19. század második felének tudós teológusa 1864-től 1899-ig volt a bécsi Protestáns Teológiai Fakultás Református dogmatikai tanszékének professzora. A Habsburg-kormányzat 1818-ban központi rendelettel tiltotta be a birodalom egész területén élő diákok számára a külföldi egyetemjárást, hogy ezzel az intézkedéssel akadályozza meg a német egyetemek liberális szellemiségének beszivárgását.

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.

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.
