Abstract

Samuel Rochotius (Rochotský), a Protestant living in Moravia and Hungary at the turn of the 17th century, was the owner of an interesting collection of books. Some of them have been identified by Hungarian researchers. Most of them are now stored in Hungarian memory institutions, but some are in Slovakia, in Bratislava (Pozsony), Banská Bystrica (Besztercebánya), Martin (Turócszentmárton) and Košice (Kassa). The aim of the study will be to identify the personality of Samuel Rochotius, to place him in the context of contemporary scholars, and to bring to light books from his collection that have not been mentioned by Hungarian scholars in their studies so far.
