Summary/Abstract: Mihály Kiss (1809, Torda/Turda – 1889, Árkos/Arcuş), was a Unitarian minister in Árkos and the Háromszék district’s Dean. This article presents his life path and career, and his role in the collection of folk poetry based on reminiscences published in periodicals and his surviving personal papers. As a close friend of Unitarian priest and bishop János Kriza (1811–1875), Kiss participated in collecting folk poetry. As a result of his and other collectors’ effective contributions, mainly those of Unitarian ministers and school teachers, the first regional folklore collection was published in 1863 under the title Vadrózsák (Wild Roses).
