Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the techniques of adaptation in six sermons written by Sámuel Fejérvári (18th century Unitarian minister). These works use as their source the sermons of the Catholic Archbishop Péter Pázmány, and they combine and adapt large textual units. This paper explores the role such adaptation plays in the texts, and examines the methods used by Sámuel Fejérvári to incorporate the passages originally composed by Pázmány. The results yield new insights into protestant techniques of adaptation, contribute to a deeper understanding of Unitarian sermon literature, and highlight some yet-unexplored connections, which made interconfessional adaptation possible.
