The research titled "Protocols of Five Congregations of the Maros Reformed Diocese from 1687: Nyárádselye, Berekeresztúr, Nyárádszentimre, Nyárádszereda, Nyárádszentanna" examines the year 1687 and the Maros Reformed Diocese. The study aims to uncover and analyze the surveys conducted in these mentioned five congregations, which are associated with the specific time period. The research provides a comprehensive overview of the congregations' history, their life within the Reformed Church, and the collected data. Through the analysis and interpretation of primary sources, insights can be gained into the daily lives of the congregations, religious practices, and other characteristics of religious life during this period. The findings of the thesis contribute to the historical and religious research of the Maros Reformed Diocese, helping to understand the characteristics and challenges of the 17th-century Reformed communities in Transylvania.

The spiritual atmosphere can be pure and impure, life nourishing or stifling. The physical atmosphere can also be pure or polluted, life nourishing or stifling. In this context pure air means the abundance of man’s physical living conditions, the pureness and the absence of harm in the whole ecological system, ensuring man’s living space. It also means the balance, which has to exist between the food- and energy resources of our planet for the daily needs of its 7 billion inhabitants. There is a highly tense struggle going on for clean air, habitable earth in ecological as well as economic aspects. Our thesis: it is significant in which spiritual medium this battle takes place. The mere spiritual medium can contribute towards the solution of the problems, which the more and more polluted physical and economic climate brings about.

A magyar peregrinusok 17. századi héber nyelvű köszöntőversei feldolgozására vállalkozó kutatás részeként most három verset ismertetünk részletesen. Martonfalvi György, későbbi nagyváradi majd debreceni professzor és két tanítványának a hollandiai Franekerben írt carmina gratulatoriáját elemezzük, amelyek révén betekintést nyerhetünk a korabeli egyetemjárás közegébe, a szerzők és címzettek viszonyára, a héber nyelv magyarországi és hollandiai ismeretébe és oktatásába, a szerzők héber nyelvi és költészeti készségeibe. A versek most először kerülnek a nagyközönség elé 17. századi keletkezésük óta.
