His Psalm Book and the Unitarian Songbooks.

Summary/Abstract: Th e Psalterium Davidis (Th e Psalm Book of David) by Miklós Bogáti Fazakas (1548–1592/1598) – one of the fi rst literary representations of radical Antitrinitarianism – has never been published. Th is work was left to posterity only in manuscripts, which were prepared in the Sabbatarian centers in Transylvania. Nevertheless, some of the psalms were published in Unitarian songbooks, during the 17th century. Th is paper presents the popularity and usage of the psalms in Unitarian congregations, and explores how these psalms might have been included in printed editions. Based on the appearance of these psalms as well as the ad notam (meaning: aft er the melody of…) references that referred to Bogáti’s psalms, it seems that Bogáti’s texts spread continuously during the century. Comparing the printed variants with hand-written ones results in new conclusions about the corpus of the Sabbatarian manuscripts.
