István Uzoni Fosztó – Mihály Kozma – János Kozma: The History of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church, Book III, Volume 1.

Summary/Abstract: In the last third of the 18th century, Unitarian ministers János Kénosi Tőzsér (1708–1772) and István Fosztó Uzoni (1729–1778) wrote The History of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church in Latin. It was copied by János Bartók Jr. (†1797), Mihály Kozma Sr. (1723−1798), and his son János Kozma (1761–1840). Between 1942 and 1949, Albert Márkos (1878–1949) translated the work into Hungarian, and published it in three separate volumes. The Hungarian Unitarian Church has undertaken a project to publish modern editions of the Márkos translations. In 2005 it published the first volume (Book I), and in 2009 the second volume (Book II). It is dividing Book III (a plaintive narrative about the 17th and 18th century’s brutal church policy, about church occupations, and personal traumas) into two separate volumes, because of its structure and size. Book III volume 1 was published in 2018. In addition to chapters 1–7 and 9 as well as the Appendix of Albert Márkos’s translation, this volume also contains a modern analysis and comparison of all extant copies of the original Latin manuscripts. The Appendix comprises a list of ordained ministers from 1641 to 1812 and the Disciplina Ecclesiastica, a collection of church laws and regulations. Book III volume 2 will include the voluminous Chapter 8, covering the history of the 18th and 19th century bishops from Mihály Gergely Almási (†1724) to István Lázár (†1811).
