Peregrinatio Academica of Transylvanian Students to the University of Jena between 1601 and 1789

Summary/Abstract: The contribution of the pilgrimage of Transylvanian students to German universities is, due to its too broad subject matter, only concerned with their pilgrimage to the University of Jena between 1601 and 1789. The author deals briefly with the development of education in Transylvania and introduces some of the most important personalities who contributed significantly to the development of education and highlights the absence of colleges and universities in the country. As a result, a large number of students opted to study at foreign universities. In detail, the students' place of origin, religion and social status are presented. The focus is on monuments of book culture, some dissertations, which were published on the occasion of the award of a certain academic degree. One of the problems discussed concerns the fact that not all students who started their studies at a foreign university also finished them at the same institution or at another university. But many students have wandered to several universities and have not graduated from any of them. The Appendix presents some published dissertations of Transylvanian students identified through the online catalogues VD17 and VD18.
