Summary/Abstract: In the 17–18th centuries the interest for works concerning the history of Protestantism in Hungary and Transylvania has increased. Such an opus is the Historia Ecclesiae Reformatae in Hungaria et Transilvania (1706) by Pál Debreceni Ember. The author of this ecclesiastical history not only presents the history of the Reformed Church in Hungary, but he also tries to present the origin of the Hungarian Christianity projecting it onto the apostolic period. To prove his theory, he turns to the early Christian writers. The aim of this paper is to present the reception of his sources.
