Abstract

The library of the Lutheran Gymnasium in Sighișoara, with its 227 editions of the works of the most famous theologians of the Reformation, is one of the richest collections of its kind in Transylvania. The distibution of the works by authors and theological genres highlights some peculiarities of the book acquisitions of the Transylvanian Saxons in the 16th century: 1. There is a much higher number of local acquisitions before 1550 than in Hungarian libraries (Reformed, Anti-Trinitarian and Roman-Catholic). 2. While the works of Protestant theologians in the libraries of the other historical confessions have come a long way, both geographically and confessionally, the book acquisitions of the Saxons seem to be quite internal, one can hardly find owners who are not Saxons and not Lutheran. 3. In the last three decades of the 16th century, the works of Swiss the Calvinist theologians are overrepresented. The results of the research significantly contribute to a better understanding of confessionalisation in Transylvania.
