This volume is an edited version of Molnár Lehel's doctoral dissertation. Its narrower literary context is the series titled Publications of the Kolozsvár Collection Archive and Library of the Hungarian Unitarian Church, which this volume marks as the tenth and most recently published work. From its broader scholarly context, I will now refer specifically to the Hungarian-language Unitarian church history writings, as Molnár Lehel's book primarily enriches this area of (Transylvanian) Hungarian cultural history.

The Synoptic Gospels are the most authentic accounts of the historical Jesus. Immediately after Jesus' death, a collection of teachings and deeds about Him, spread through oral tradition, was created, most likely in ancient Aramaic. From this collection of sayings, the Greek text attributed to the Evangelist Mark was formed, which is the oldest gospel, and at the same time, the so-called Q source collection came into being. This collection already included insertions and modifications, which differed from the original text, before being preserved in written form. These changes reflected the theological aims of the early Christian congregations and the evangelists.

The Sora reference point in Cluj-Napoca, with a stop bearing its name, is well-known, but little is known about its history, or at least it is not widely recognized. Gaál György mentions it in his book Magyarok utcája, but his research primarily focused on the three buildings that previously stood on the site of the Sora building, and their demolition "disrupted the streetscape." In contemporary photographs (such as the one taken by Ferenc Veress in 1859), it is still clearly visible that the building site was originally three plots, each with a house. By the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, all three buildings had come into church ownership. Previously, the buildings were mainly inhabited by church leaders, the pastors of the Cluj Unitarian congregation, such as János Kriza and József Ferencz, but for a short time, one of them was also home to Áron Berde, who was the first rector of the predecessor to Babeș–Bolyai University, founded in 1871.

Today, we stand before a deeply respected heritage as we evoke the memory of Mózes Berde with the Berde Cup, which for the one hundred and twenty-fifth time signals, in its unique way, the unity of our Unitarian community. I am grateful for the bishop's invitation and for the opportunity to greet each other on this significant occasion.

The history of Unitarian preaching in early modern times in Transylvania and Hungary has been published under the care of the Research Group and the Cluj Protestant Theological Institute in the volume titled The Layers of Preaching in the 17th Century: Writers, Copyists, Compilers, Audiences. This book contains an expanded written version of the lectures presented at the conference held on June 30, 2023, in Budapest. The volume is not without precedent, as two years earlier, a nearly identical edition titled Dávid Ferenc and Contemporary Preaching Literature: The First Generations of the Reformation was published, which serves as the continuation of the present volume in both publication and the period under examination.

Review of: Борислав Михајловић Михиз, Сабрана дела, Нови Сад – Београд – Ириг, 2022–2023
More...
Борислав Михајловић Михиз је био човек који је, читавог живота, на различне начине, даривао српску књижевност и културу, али и, најнепосред није, своје колеге и пријатеље. С разлогом га је, Матија назвао човеком са златним мозгом, који није имао друге браће осим пријатеља. Можда је нај умесније предочити да су прве две Михизове књиге, посебно прва, већма сведочанство о иницијалном стадију оног процеса у којем је попин Бора израстао у прву главу српске културе, наговештавајући изузетне интелек туалне и књижевне потенцијале, неголи књиге које, у битноме, заокружују његово дело, као, на пример, Портрети или Аутобиографија о другима. Оне се, дакле, као што сам предочио у Предговору, хоће, пре свега, као дела у којима се уочава траг дарујућих бразди, које је изорао овај вредни аутор, пењући се ка врховима српске књижевности и културе друге половине ХХ в. Стога је умесно, рекао бих, уз Михизов став у Аутобиографији о другима. I, да је, у Песмама, уочљива носталгија за завичајем из које провирује Јесењин, накривљени шешир сремачког пркоса, старинска сентименталност и насиље риме, придодати – има у њима и трагова несташлука бећараца, али и трагова оне изазовне (настасијевићке) атмосфере језичког згушњавања које зрачи у више смерова. Данас, седам и по десетлећа након изласка из штам пе Михизовог првенца-самиздата, најпримереније га је одредити као неку врсту самоописа (односно самоинтерпретације), али и помало скандалном књижицом стихова, како је сам рекао, поводом изласка из штампе песничког самиздата, у разговору с Милутином Чолићем, предочавајући да се поезијом није бавио.

Even while being applied, it has provided numerous arguments and evidence. The past is thus factual, and its lessons speak to the present in the spirit of the age-old principle historia est magistra vitae. The study of legal history, which explores and examines the relationship between the past and law, as well as the causal connections between them, therefore integrates specific objectives and tasks, even though it tends to be overshadowed by the application of current law. Legal history undoubtedly and primarily facilitates the exploration and understanding of the foundations of existing legal institutions from a historical perspective.
