Abstract

The Jesuit, István Szántó (Arator), who was a Hungarian father-confessor in Rome in the jubilee year of 1575, was engaged in establishing an independent Collegium Hungaricum to improve clerical training in the Eternal City in the second half of the 16th century. First, he succeeded since he managed to make the pope establish the Collegium despite the strong resistance from everywhere around. However, after a few months the pope unified the Collegium Hungaricum with the Collegium Germanicum because there was not a sufficient number of students from Hungary in Rome. Although the efforts of Szántó ended in failure, they had important effects on Hungarian Catholicism. For example, places were to provide for twelve Hungarian students in the united Collegium in the following centuries. In this paper, a brief review can be found about the writings of Szántó for the sake of the foundation of the Collegium Hungaricum.
