Erdélyi egyházmegyés klerikusok promóciója a Római Kúriában (1426–1523)
Promotion of Transylvanian Diocesan Clerics in the Roman Curia (1426–1523)

Summary/Abstract: On the 19th of March 1496, the inhabitants of Rome could observe a group of foreign clerics in the neighbourhood of the Piazza Navona. Naturally, this proved to be a usual practice, as people of different status from every corner of the European continent arrived continuously to the Urbs Aeterna. Among those, who arrived in the city next to the River Tevere, from time to time we may observe those, who wanted to receive different grades of the holy orders either on their own or in groups. In one of these groups, we may mention numerous clericals, whom were on their way to the Church San Panthaleone in the Parione district of the city, where the general ordination was performed by Joshua, the bishop of Ascoli. Among the 118 candidates, altogether 53 clericals, including 13 from the Transylvanian diocese arrived in Rome from the remote Carpathian Basin. The study surveys the general characteristic features of the promotion of 122 Transylvanian diocesan clerics in the Roman Curia on the bases of the Libri formatarum series, which can be found in the Camera Apostolica fond of the Archivio Apostolico Vaticano.
