Reformation Ought to Be Remebered As a Truly Pivotal T Moment in the History of Christianity Corneliu Constantineanu Marcel V. Măcelaru Iosif Riviș-Tipei HE Protestant Reformation ought to be remebered as a truly pivotal T moment in the history of Christianity. Its memorable five sola (sola Scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia, solus Christus, soli Deo gloria) have shaped the theological understanding and have informed the worship imagination of countless Christian communities over the past 500 years. The Reformation rekindled an understanding of “faith” as something real and active – the ingredient that informs and transforms human lives, both private and public. It advocated for the participation of Christian believers and communities in public life. It proclaimed a gospel that addresses the entire reality, under the universal, all-powerfull, all- encompassing lordship of Christ. Over the past five hundred years, all these ideas and the model of REFORMATION 500 Christian existence they gave birth to, have also had an undeniabe impact REFORMATION 500 on culture and society, in Europe and beyond. The identification, evaluation, and further projection of this impact is the topic of the present volume.

On this very day, according to the common tradition, Dr. Martin Luther nails 95 theses to the doors of the All Saint’s Church in Wittenberg. The theses are critical in their character, refer to the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church at the turn of 16th century and are mainly connected with the procedure of selling indulgences, under- standing of penance and the state of overall morality of the Catholic clergy2. This way Martin Luther initiates the process of renewal of the western Christianity called the Reformation and theological-ecclesiastical tradition named Protestantism3. The first Lutheran creed, so called Augsburg Confession (Confession Augustana), considered to be some kind of Protestant manifesto, was written by a friend and coworker of Martin Luther, Dr. Philip Melanchthon. In this Confession, presented June 25, 1530 at the Diet of Augsburg, for the first time can be found references to what later came to define the fundamental theses of Protestantism4: 1 The article has been published in a shorter form in Polish periodical,

  • Humanist I Zagrebački Biskup Nicolaus Olahus (Nikola Olah, Nicolae Valahul Ili Românul, 1543-1548) I Njegova Korespondencija Sa Stjepanom Brodarićem
    RANI NOVI VIJEK Castilia Manea-Grgin ISSN 0353-295X UDK 262.1 Nicolaus Olahus RADOVI – Zavod za hrvatsku povijest Vol. 42, Zagreb 2010. Izvorni znanstveni rad Humanist i zagrebački biskup Nicolaus Olahus (Nikola Olah, Nicolae Valahul ili Românul, 1543-1548) i njegova korespondencija sa Stjepanom Brodarićem Ovaj rad je posvećen važnoj povijesnoj ličnosti Ugarsko-hrvatskog kraljevstva i ču- venom humanistu rumunjskog podrijetla Nicolausu Olahusu (1491/3-1568), koji je nedovoljno poznat u hrvatskoj historiografiji. Autorica je u članku pokušala ukratko rekonstruirati, prema tiskanim izvorima i relevantnoj literaturi, njegovo podrijetlo te crkvenu i političku karijeru. Težište se stavilo na njegovu djelatnost kao zagrebačkog biskupa te na njegov humanistički opus. Detaljno je analizirana njegova korespon- dencija s hrvatskim prelatom, diplomatom i humanistom Stjepanom Brodarićem. Budući da su Hrvati i Rumunji ili barem dio njihovih nacionalnih korpusa u prošlosti dulje ili kraće živjeli u istim državama (srednjovjekovna Ugarska/Habs- burška Monarhija/Austro-Ugarska ili Osmansko Carstvo), hrvatska i rumunjska povijest više su povezane nego što to danas izgleda. Neki Hrvati imaju posebno mjesto u rumunjskoj povijesti, poput moldavskog kneza Gašpara Grazianija s početka 17. stoljeća,1 dok su neke povijesne ličnosti rumunjskog podrijetla u 15. i 16. stoljeću znatno utjecale i na sudbinu hrvatskih zemalja. Ti su Rumunji potjecali iz Transilvanije, koja je stoljećima bila dio Ugarske. Jedan od njih je i važna povijesna ličnost Ugarsko-hrvatskog kraljevstva i čuveni humanist, poznat pod renesansnim imenom Nicolaus Olahus (1491/3-1568). O njemu se ponajviše pisalo u rumunjskoj i mađarskoj historiografiji, a i u Slovačkoj i Belgiji, na po- dručju zemalja u kojima je živio i djelovao.2 1 Vidi o Gašparu Grazianiju MANEA-GRGIN 2006, 51-77.

  • Ioan-Aurel POP (Cluj) ETHNIC and RELIGIOUS MENTALITIES in TRANSYLVANIA DURING the TIME of NICOLAUS OLAHUS
    Ioan-Aurel POP (Cluj) ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS MENTALITIES IN TRANSYLVANIA DURING THE TIME OF NICOLAUS OLAHUS Around 1536-1537, Nicolaus Olahus, in his work „Himgaria", wro­ te: „This whole Hungarian Kingdom includes in our present time diffe­ rent nations — Hungarians, Germans, Bohemians, Slavs, Croatians, Sa­ xons, Szeklers, RomaniansBCU Cluj, /Serbs Central, Cumans University, Iazygians Library Cluj, Ruthenians and, finally Turks — which all use different languages, except for certain names of things, which, because of the old habit and also of the mutual relations, prove to have a certain similarity and correspondence"1. Abo­ ut the ethnic structure of Transylvania, its birthplace, the classical scho­ lar was even more accurate: „There are four nations in it, [Transylvania] having different origins: the Hungarians, Szeklers, Saxons and Romani­ ans, among whon the less disposed to the fights are considered to be the Saxons. The Hungarians and the Szeklers use the same language, except that the Szeklers have certain words peculiar to their people [...]. The Saxons are, as the rumour is, some Saxon settlers from Germany, bro­ ught here by Charles the Great; a proof for the truth [of this opinion] is the resemblance of the languages of the two peoples. The tradition says that the Romanians are some colonies of the Romans. The argu­ ment is the fact thay they have many identical words with the speech of the Romans, people whose coins are to be found in great quantity in those places; beyond doubt, these are important evidences of the Roman oldness and domination here"2. Concerning the faith of the Romanians, Olahus claims: „The Romanians are Christians, with the only difference that, following the Greeks in the proceeding of the Holly Spirit, they are also different from our church by some other more acceptable points"3.

  • Evropa – Dediščina Humanistov Avstrija
    EVROPA Dediščina humanistov Humanitas aradi česa smo človeška bitja edinstvena? To vprašanje so razumniki znova Značeli v obdobju renesanse, ob branju spisov rimskega govornika Cicerona (106–43 p. n. št.). o njem se ljudje od drugih živih bitij razlikujemo v razumnosti jezika; upo- Prabljati ga je treba izčiščeno in natančno, saj naj bi negovanje razuma – in ta se izrazi z jezikom – pojilo človeško dostojanstvo (humanitas); humanitas za- objema – širše in globlje od sodobnega izraza »človeštvo« – vidik »človeka, kot ga opredeljuje njegova celovita umnost«. Jezik bi si moral s pravilno uporabo prizadevati k resnici in skupnemu dobru. akšne jezikovne in filozofske misli so se s svojo sodobno noto dotaknile Trenesančnih učenjakov, saj je takratna akademska in kulturna naravnanost jezik omejila na njegov praktični okvir, ki ga je bilo treba strukturirati, klasifi- cirati in opredeliti; miselna svoboda in estetska rast nista bili prednostni vre- dnoti. Skupaj z družbeno-političnimi spremembami se je razmahnilo tudi vpra- šanje človekovega dostojanstva, zlasti v tedanjem obdobju prehoda. Na temelju klasičnega arhetipa so se študij za opredeljevanje Človeka, tako imenovanih studia humanitatis, lotili z daljnosežnimi učinki. Skupaj z razpustitvijo takra- tnih miselnih vzorcev je bil sedaj posameznik poklican, da svoja razum in jezik uporabi za preizpraševanje avtoritete in tradicionalnega znanja, oblikovanje lastnega mnenja, prevzem politične odgovornosti, uveljavitev vrednote osebne izkušnje, zvedavo ustvarjanje lastne predstave o svetu in njeno izražanje ter odpiranje uma na vse mogoče načine, onkraj ustaljenih meja.

  • Testimonies on the Ethno-Confessional Structure of Medieval Transylvania and Hungary (9Th-14Th Centuries)
    Testimonies on the Ethno-Confessional Structure of Medieval Transylvania and Hungary (9th-14th centuries) IOAN-AUREL POP T, , Preliminaries JL HE KINGDOM of Hungary was throughout the course of its medieval exis­ tence (c. 1000-1526) a multinational and pluriconfessional state. Not even in the modern epoch have the matters stood differently, as the official data of the 1910 census indicate the fact that the "minorities" accounted for c. 52% of the total population of the country1 constituting in fact the majority of the inhabit­ ants of the Hungary of that day Around 1536-1537, Nicolaus Olahus wrote in his work Hungária: 'The entire Hungarian kingdom comprises within itself, during these times of ours, different nations—Hungarians, Germans, Bohemians, Slavs, Croats, Saxons, Szeklers, Romanians, Serbs, Cumans, Iaziges, Ruthenians, and finally, Turks— all of which make use among themselves of different languages, except for the instance in which certain denominations, because of the long-standing customs and the mutual relationships, prove to have a somewhat similar character and suitability."2 As to the ethnic composition of Transylvania, his birthplace, the humanist writer (Olahus) is even more specific: "There are here four nations of different origin: Hungarians, Szeklers, Saxons and Romanians, of which the least warlike are considered to be the Saxons. The Hungarians and the Szeklers make use of the same language, although the Szeklers have certain words specific to their people [...]. The Saxons are, it is said, some colonies of Saxons from Germany [...]; what leads us to believe the truthfulness (of this assertion) is the resemblance that exists between the languages of these two peoples.

  • Despre Originea Lui Nicolaus Olahus (1493-1568)
    DESPRE ORIGINEA LUI NICOLAUS OLAHUS (1493-1568) Cornelia POPA-GORJANU La prima vedere nu ar trebui să existe discuţii legate de originea lui Nicolaus Olahus. El singur şi-a declarat în mai multe rânduri dubla origine, românească prin tatăl său şi maghiară prin mama sa. Studiul de faţă va încerca să analizeze aspectele legate de linia înrudirii sale cu familiile domnitoare din Ţara Românească, Transalpina, fie cea a Dăneştilor, fie cea a Drăculeştilor. Informaţiile oferite de Olahus au dat naştere unor controverse şi au îngreunat stabilirea clară a unei biografii complete. Nu ne implicăm în discuţiile legate de încercarea unor istorici de a-l atribui pe Olahus şi opera sa uneia dintre culturile care l-au revendicat. Am considerat potrivit să confruntăm toate sursele directe, incluzând aici mai ales menţiunile pe care umanistul le-a făcut despre legăturile sale de rudenie cu neamul tatălui său de la sud de Carpaţi. Chiar dacă unele dintre aceste informaţii au mai fost subiectul unor studii, am considerat necesar să le prezentăm împreună pentru a crea o imagine cât mai clară, şi pentru a îndepărta astfel motivele unor interpretări mai mult sau mai puţin subiective. Tema va rămâne în continuare deschisă spre noi completări şi pe mai departe, în măsura în care se vor găsi noi documente sau menţiuni. Există patru surse importante care vorbesc despre acest subiect: lucrarea Hungaria, corespondenţa lui Nicolaus Olahus şi cele două diplome de înnobilare pe care le-a primit spre sfârşitul carierei sale. În capitolul al XII-lea al lucrării Hungaria, referitor la Ungaria de dincolo de Tisa De Hungaria Trans-Tibiscana1, sunt pomenite teritoriile locuite de români.

  • ANDRÁS W. KOVÁCS, the Voivodes and Vice the Voivodes And
    ANDRÁS W. KOVÁCS ,,, The Voivodes and ViceVice----voivodesvoivodes of Transylvania as comites of Alba County ( comitatus ) in the Middle Ages Abstract: The present study discusses the specific organizational traits of the medieval Alba County (from the eleventh century up to 1541), one of the seven counties in the voivodate of Transylvania of that period. Alba County, organized by the Hungarian ro- yalty, seems to have been the very first Transylvanian county and covered, in the be- ginning, almost the whole southern part of the province. The administration of Alba County has specific traits, which can be related to the circumstances at the early organization of the county: 1. During the reign of the Ar- padian kings, in most of the known cases, the comes of Alba County was the voivode of Transylvania, the royal official appointed at the head of the province. 2. From the be- ginning of the fourteenth and up to the fifteenth century the vice-voivode of Transylvania held the office of comes of Alba County, while the notary of the voivode, at least in some cases, received the title of vice-comes of the county. 3. Starting with the fifteenth and until the first decades of the sixteenth century the comes of Alba County was not the vice-voivode anymore, but the office was occupied by one or two of his deputies, who were usually called “ vice-comites ”. 4. Even though the voivodeship/vice- voivodeship was related to the office of comes of Alba, the administrative structure of the comitatus Alba had all the characteristics of the other Transylvanian counties (there were two noble judges, elected from among the local nobility, and the sedes iudicialia discussed the cases of these latter).
