Summary/Abstract: György Enyedi was an unitarian bishop between 1592-1597 in Transylvania. In this period he talked a lot of sermons in the Great Church at the Marketplace of Kolozsvár. The texts are preserved only in manuscript tradition. At present on the basis of more than twenty sources we can reconstruct the ideal structure of the collection. The collection is structured in seven group of thirty or thirty three sermons (triacas). The Seventh triacas is not complete, because it contains only thirteen speeches. Probably in the middle of the seventeenth century a different structure is formed (centuria). The two structures can be merged in a quasy ideal structure. On the basis some speeches (conciones) and outlines (dispositio) as well as the contemporary practice of preaching we can imagine the creation of sermons. The comparative analysis of the texts of 60. and 27/94. concio demonstrates, that the reconstruction of the original text of Enyedi’s sermons is possible.
