Abstract
This article examines the literary legacy of the bishops of the Reformed Church in Transylvania in the 18th century. It provides a bibliography of the written works of the 17 authors and analyzes this data, focusing on the genres in which the bishops wrote, the locations of publication, the languages used, and any potential correlation between their writings and their election.
The study reveals that nearly two-thirds of the 135 works are funeral sermons. The large number of joint services conducted by later bishops suggests a strong connection between representative funeral services and their election. Most bishops published at least one Latin disputation during their studies abroad, but the vast majority of the books were written in Hungarian and printed in Kolozsvár. The sermon texts, theological works and literary writings vary significantly, reflecting each bishop’s ndividual field of work and interest.
