  There were close ties between Hungarian Protestants and the universities in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces (now the Netherlands), particularly with the Academie van Vrieslandt in the Frisian town of Franeker. By chance, a shipment of books intercepted by customs in Olomouc has been preserved, which sheds more light on the theological ideas and contacts of István Szathmári Paksi (1719–1791), who studied in Franeker in 1743 and was bishop of the church in Debrecen from 1785 to 1790.
