Summary/Abstract: Th is article presents an examination of seventeenth century Unitarian printing activity up to 1689. It first explores the identity of the owners of the Heltai Press. Next it considers the question whether the Unitarian presses in Kolozsvár and in Raków co-operated with each other. It also shows some newlydiscovered Unitarian prints from the 17th century. Lastly, it considers whether the Várfalvi Catechism is indeed the lost “Catechesis Desiana”, and whether the Unitarians printed the Catechism of Boldizsár Koncz (1624–1684) in the final days of the Principality of Transylvania.
