Summary/Abstract: This article uses the results of the latest research concerning the works of Unitarian bishop, Mihály Szentábrahámi Lombard (1683–1758): Gizella Hoffmann’s bibliographical notes on the Hungarian translation of the Latin manuscript: The History of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church transcribed from the original by János Kozma (1761–1840), and Zsuzsa Font’s book Transylvanians in the Pull of Halle and Radical Pietism. Between September 1712 and Spring 1713 Szentábrahámi Lombard was in Halle, Germany where he received serious encouragement from authors associated with Halle. While there is only a probability that Szentábrahámi Lombard studied with Jean le Clerc (1657–1736) while he was in Halle, it is known that while he was there he studied the works of Christian Thomasius (1655–1728), Friedrich Gladow (17th c. – 18th c.), and Johann Franz Buddeus (1667–1729). These were the main intellectual inspirations forming the bases of Szentábrahámi Lombard’s thoughts on moderating confessional prejudices. Szentábrahámi Lombard’s travel to Halle was sponsored by Hermannstadt (Sibiu (RO), Nagyszeben (HU)) patrons who wanted him to leave his Unitarian church, but he acted to the contrary.
