A הבל névszó a Qohelet könyvének egyik leggyakoribb kifejezése, mondhatni teológiai mondanivalójának egyik központi eleme, gyakoriságát tekintve pedig az ószövetségi kánonon belül ebben a könyvben fordul elő a legtöbbször. Mivel értékítéletet hordoz magában, lényeges a könyv egészének mondanivalójának szempontjából. Tanulmányunkban a megjelenési formák alapján kíséreltük meg a הבל előfordulásainak csoportosítását, illetve a szűkebb és tágabb szövegkörnyezetében betöltött szerepének magyarázatát. Emellett megvizsgáltuk, hogy az adott szövegkörnyezet hangsúlyos kifejezései milyen szerepet töltenek be a הבל-lel alkotott parafrázisok szókészletében.

The sermons written for the first Sunday after the epiphany, according to the medieval order of the pericopes, are based on the story of 12-year-old Jesus teaching in the temple (Luke 2:41-52). Therefore, the duties of parents and children are usually presented in these sermons. A following of this pericopal tradition can be found among 16th-century Hungarian publications in the books of the pastors Péter Bornemisza, István Beythe and György Kulcsár, and the priest Miklós Telegdi. Through their sermons, I examine how these authors wrote about the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ child as well as what methods they offered for improving the behaviour and morals of said ‘bad’ child.

Although György Enyedi’s (1555-1597) posthumous exegetical masterpiece Explicationes (Cluj, 1598) did not contain any explicit statements on political thinking, his Hungarian sermons testify his theoretical interest towards political philosophy. The paper focuses on sermons 67, 68 and 184, wherein Enyedi formulates his version of natural law. Due to his antitrinitarian theological presuppositions and his philosophical anthropology deeply inherent in the former, Enyedi’s position does not match fully the standard versions of natural law of his time. on the one hand, Enyedi’s approach proves to be much more intellectual in character than the voluntaristic correction of Thomist natural law in Scholastic-Suáresian theory. on the other hand, the antitrinitarian dismissal of original sin as a chief anthropological motif results in differences from the protestant natural law tradition, as Melanchthon developed it in the 1530s.
