A főúri kegyes élet reprezentációja: Szentjóbi Nagy István halotti prédikációi cegei Wass György és Wass Ágnes felett (1705)
The Representation of the Devotional Life of Nobility. István Szentjóbi Nagy’s Funeral Sermons on György and Ágnes Wass de Țaga (1705)

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the ways Reformed priest István Szentjóbi Nagy represents in two manuscript funeral sermons his patrons, the siblings György and Ágnes Wass de Țaga (Cege), who died in 1703, and were buried on the 26th of September 1705, during the time of the Rákóczi War of Independence. In portraying the two deceased, Szentjóbi relies heavily on Biblical models. The text of the sermons served in the scribal publicity as devotional reading, consolation or conduct example for widow, for the Wass de Țaga family or even for the wider community.
