    The neolatin greeting poems of the 17th century professors of the Calvinist College of Debrecen. Contemporary occasional poems provide an excellent insight into the literacy of the early modern protestant intellectuals in Debrecen and the relationship between members: for example greetings, wedding greetings and mortal poems. In the 17th century prints connected to certain members of the intellectuals of Debrecen appeared with a nice number in Hungary and abroad, which were also welcomed by the professors of the Calvinist College in Debrecen. Collegial teachers volumes published in Hungary mostly by Hungarian, while polemical treatises printed abroad by Latin greetings accompanied. In my study I undertake to provide insight into the literacy and relationship system of the professors in Debrecen in the 17th century with detailed philological analysis of some neolatin greetings.

    The Calvinist Teacher Training Institute of Debrecen was modelled after the Eötvös Collegium of Budapest. It trained teachers for Hungarian Calvinist secondary schools between 1925 and 1952 by means of supplementary courses. The students of the Institute got significant impulses for their academic research from their tutors. Many of them became determining figures of Hungarian culture and education by the middle of the 20th century. The publication series published their doctoral theses and other academic papers on the 3000 pages of the 28 volumes between 1936 and 1943. This study aims to present the circumstances of the beginning, the termination and the intellectual profile of the series titled „Acta Instituti Paedagogici Collegii Debreceniensis”.

    Csikesz Sándor a debreceni Tisza István Magyar Királyi Tudományegyetem Hittudományi Karának egyik
    legnagyobb koncepciójú és legtevékenyebb alakja volt a XX. század első felében. 1921-től lett a Debreceni
    Lelkészképző Intézet tanára, majd 1923-ban kapta meg egyetemi tanári kinevezését. Nemzetközi megbízatásain
    túl sok más egyházi és világi tisztséget is betöltött. Csikesz Sándor professzor, mint a tudományszervezés
    és a református tudománypolitika erős egyénisége jelentős teológiai műhelyt hozott létre. Kétszer viselt
    dékáni címét, az 1937–38. tanévben pedig a Debreceni Egyetem rektorává választották. Ekkor ünnepelte
    a Református Kollégium és a Debreceni Egyetem a Kollégium fennállásának 400. évfordulóját. Csikesz
    Sándor egyetemi tanársága alatt nem volt az egyetemen olyan reformmozgalom, építés vagy újjáépítés,
    amelynek ne lett volna bátor élharcosa.

    . A former alumnus of the Reformed College of Debrecen spent years in the Netherlands, preparing for his hoped job in Hungary as a professor of Philosophy in one of the Reformed colleges. Although he completed his study in Utrecht and in Groningen in Philosophy and Medicine with excellent results, he was never invited to a cathedra in Hungary. He was offered a job in Deventer which he accepted and became a professor of Philosophy. He married a Dutch woman – Elisabeth Slichtenbree – and started a new, fulfilling life in the Netherlands. After 12 years living in Deventer, he received an invitation to a post of professor of History, Ancient Greek, and Eloquence in Sárospatak, which he refused due to his engagements (job and family) in the Netherlands. A couple of years later he was invited to Groningen for a professorship, which he refused, too. His scientific work Cribrum Arithmeticum was published in 1811, and Csernák sent examples of it to Hungary and Transylvania. After his death he legated a huger amount of money to his Hungarian Alma Mater, which was used for public needs of the college.

    In Debrecen, the cholera epidemic of 1831 caused great devastation, killing almost 7.5% of the population. The cure for the epidemic was not yet known, so preventive measures (closures, quarantine) were taken to stop the spread of it. Already the news of the disease caused anxiety among professors, who sought to get the latest news from the city. For a long time, they resisted closing the school, but when the epidemic began to take its toll in the city at the end of July, they were forced to act. Many of the students had left the school early, but those who remained were looked after by the professors. As the epidemic situation worsened, the city even considered converting the college into a hospital, but this was eventually abandoned following protests from the professors and the college's curator. School order was finally restored only in the late autumn. The start of the school year was only briefly postponed during the local epidemic of 1866.

    Vilmos Haendel was a lecturer for 14 years at the law academy at the Reformed College of Debrecen, then for nearly 30 years he taught political sciences at the University of Arts and Sciences of Debrecen. Being a well-rounded person he stood out from among the teachers of the Law Faculty of the university before the World War II. He played an important role in the political, social and cultural life of Debrecen for decades. At the same time, his nationalism and anti-Semitism made him a typical figure of the public life of the city in the first Half of the 20th century. The study describes his way of life on the basis of such data which have not been summed up so far, and tries to show his teaching career and the events of the year when he was the Rector flashing his most important scientific works.

  • THE DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE OF CSOKONAI IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN CRIMINAL LAW AND CRIMINOLOGY

    The expulsion of the well-known Hungarian classical poet, Csokonai, has been studied and reviewed several times. According to the widely-accepted interpretation, the gifted young poet was unjustly dismissed after a show trial, while his talent was not recognised. But can we challenge the whole conception?This paper aims to present the facts and events merely from the point of view of jurisdiction, applying the results, methods, and aspects of modern criminal law, hoping that we can see a more varied new picture of the trial. Hopefully, it can also contribute to the literary discourse about a traditionally accepted figure of the Hungarian literary canon.

    A debreceni egyetem a két világháború között három alkalommal adományozott díszdoktori címet holland
    tudósoknak vagy közéleti személyeknek. Az adományozás mindig valamilyen fontos eseményhez kapcsolódott
    (gyermekmentő akció, speyeri birodalmi gyűlés, Református Kollégium 400 éves jubileuma). A jelöltek
    kiválasztásában két fontos tényező játszott szerepet: protestáns kötődésük és/vagy Magyarország iránt tanúsított
    jóindulatuk. A díszdoktori címnek hét, a tiszteletbeli professzori díjnak nyolc holland kitüntetettje
    volt a két világháború között.

    The History of Theological Education at Debrecen Reformed College between 1850 and 1912. The changes in the educational system of Theology at Reformed College of Debrecen were heavily influenced by the political-social events of historic Hungary between 1850 and 1912. The first date signals the introduction of arbitrary rule of the Habsburg monarch who suppressed the Hungarians during the War of Independence in 1848-49. The closing date is the emergence of a new state run university in Debrecen. The study throws light on how the Organisations Entwurf tried to modernize as well as Germanize the education system in the Habsburg Empire. As a result, the traditional education structure at the College was entirely restructured. It brought about the disintegration of humanity and art faculty into a grammar school thereby only the law and theological faculties were left intact for a while. The Reformed Church District strongly protested against the dismantling its more than 300 years old education system.  It is the irony of history what the oppressing Austrian could not achieve, it was realized after the Compromise by József Eötvös, the Hungarian minister of culture, religion and education. Needless to say that education at all levels needed to be modernized and standardized. It is clear that it had a positive impact on the curricula of Reformed theological education in the long run. The paper introduces briefly the life of theological professors, their career with a view to their studies abroad and finally their works at various departments of theology.

    A korabeli alkalmi költemények (például az üdvözlő versek, esküvői és halotti költemények) kiváló betekintést engednek Debrecen 17. századi protestáns szellemi műveltségébe és a korabeli értelmiség közötti kapcsolatokba: A 17. század utolsó évtizedeiben különösen utóbb említettek váltak népszerűvé Debrecenben, hiszen hét halotti költemény-gyűjtemény is megjelent 1679–1700 között 1. Sympathia Memoriae (1679,
    Köleséri Mihály halála alkalmából), 2. Lamentum Metricum (1681, Mártonfalvi Tóth György halálakor),
    3. Parentatio lugubris (1681, Nógrádi Mátyás elhunyta okán), 4. Brabaeum vitae (1683, Köleséri Sámuel temetésére), 5. Hedera Poëtica (1686, Felvinczi Sándor elhunyta után), 6. Epicedium perennitati (Szenczi
    A. Pál halála alkalmából), 7. Honor Posthumus (1700, Szilágyi Tönkő Márton elhunyta alkalmából).
    Tanulmányunk két kiválasztott kötet (Parentatio lugubris, Honor Posthumus) vázlatos áttekintésével és a kollégiumi professzorok halotti költeményeinek részletes filológiai elemzésével igyekszik képet adni a 17. századi Debrecen értelmiségének nyelvi műveltségéről, költői teljesítményeiről és kapcsolatrendszeréről.
