Abstract

The society of the schoolmasters of the Veszprém diocese was especially diverse in the 1770’s: we can find among them learned, Latin speaking teachers as well as magisters who could not even write in Hungarian. This paper draws the attention on how diverse requirements the Catholic church – including the Veszprém episcopate – and the local communities set up for the schoolmasters in the era and how the magisters met or tried to meet these criteria. In this aspect they seem to have had three main tasks: teaching, chanting and bell-ringing. Due to all this, they were required to diligently complete their teaching tasks with appropriate education, do the chanting and bell-ringing duties with appropriate knowledge of the ceremonies, do the creed and live a virtuous life keeping up good relationships with the parish priest and with the followers not causing any scandals in the local communities. As for the latter, they meant frugal alcohol consumption. Apart from this, the age of the schoolmasters was also considered since too old age could bring about several problems. This study finally refutes the old view that in this era the main task of the schoolmasters was not education but the tasks of a cantor since in the Veszprém diocese teaching received nearly as much emphasis and attention from the tasks of the schoolmasters as chanting.
