17th-18th Century Jesuit Prints in the ”Special Collections” of the ”Gheorghe Şincai” Bihor County Library (I)

Summary/Abstract: The Jesuits enjoyed the prestige of the most learned Catholic order in history, both through the numerous personalities formed within it and through the book production in the centuries after the Protestant Reformation. Some old prints from the 17th-18th centuries of this Catholic order will be dealt with in the present study, copies kept in the old book holdings of the Bihor County Library. They came out in Trnava, Vienna, and Rome being from the field of spiritual theology, civil law, church history, and hagiography (the lives of saints), some of the copies being written by famous authors of the time such as Ioannes Szegedi (1699-1770), Antonius Sandini (1692-1751), Ioannis Bollandi (1596-1665) and Stephanus Tarnoczy (1626-1689). The unveiling of these old book copies means not only discovery for old book lovers, but also a scientific capitalisation of the mobile heritage owned by the Bihor County Library.
