Az unitárius esketési szertartás uniformizálására irányuló törekvések az 1620-as években
Efforts to Standardize the Unitarian Wedding Ceremony in the 1620’s

Summary/Abstract: The sixteenth-seventeenth century history of the Unitarian wedding ceremony has largely been neglected in research, even though several relevant 17th century texts have been published in the statute collection Az Unitárius Egyház Rendszabályai (The Regulations of the Unitarian Church). One of these texts is the first systematic Unitarian church regulation, the Disciplina Ecclesiastica (1626) and its supplement from three years later, the Institutiones ad Disciplinam Ecclesiasticam necessariae (1929). Another is the Unitarian bishop Valentinus Radecius’ (?–1632) model marriage speech: De matrimonio tractatus (A treatise on marriage), the text of which, unlike the previous ones, is only known from the original 1621 print. These documents – in addition to the relevant data that can be extracted from them – carry special significance in the history of liturgy in that all of them support the eff ort to standardise the Unitarian marriage ceremony (particularly the marriage speech and the oath).
