Summary/Abstract: The Reformation as “urban event” is in spite all criticisms one of the major tropes of the Reformation history. The city as space of the Reformation as well as its role of multiplicator of the Reformation movement can be traced back also in the Transylvanian Reformation, but the situation in Cluj was far more complicated. Is the concept of urban Reformation working for Cluj? The emphasis of the paper will be the bi-national structure of the city as space and driving force of the Antitrinitarian Reformation and the way in which the urban identity is reflected in the Transylvanian Antitrinitarianism. The main source for the latter issue is the Prayer Book of Kaspar Helth (Heltai Gáspár).
