Summary/Abstract: György Felvinczi (1645(?)–1716) is one of the most mentioned poets from the 16th–17th centuries. He studied at the Unitarian College of Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca), but after a love scandal he went to serve culture instead of the church. Some researchers say that Felvinczi, who is the writer of the first Hungarian opera, left the Unitarian religion. With the help of new archival sources we can prove that Felvinczi remained Unitarian until his death. This article offers a short chronological summary of Felvinczi’s life and the story of the school drama, as well as newly discovered archival data.
