Summary/Abstract: One of the most active figures of the Hungarian and Transylvanian Enlightenment literary movement was the judge from the Royal Table of Târgu-Mureș, György Aranka. A large part of his poetic work lies in manuscripts in the archives of Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár) and Budapest. The dissertation, on the basis of reception history, history of sources and archival research analyses the paratexts of György Aranka’s collection of poetry entitled The Flowers of the Hungarian Parnassus.
