A fogarasi partikuláris iskola fejedelemség kori rektorai
The Rectors of the Schola Particula of Fogaras/Făgăras in the Transylvanian Principality

Summary/Abstract: The study draws up the list of the rectors of the reformed school of Fogaras/Făgăraş during the time of the Transylvanian Principality and focuses on the brief biography of some of the schoolmasters. By analyzing particular carriers the author draws conclusions regarding the history of the institution in the 16–17th centuries. The study also aims to elucidate the role played by these clerical-schoolmasters – schooled either home or abroad – in the social- and cultural life of the principality. Among the 35 rectors who ruled the school between (1577)1639–1704 there were prominent members of the contemporary transylvanian intellectuality such as Péter Laskói Csókás, Gáspár Tiszabecsi, Miklós Misztótfalusi Kis, János Rozgonyi Pap, György Bonyhai stb. Twelwe of them were elected during the time of their collegial studies as praeceptor, senior or contrascriba – positions kept usually for highly skilled students –, and eight of them continued their studies at foreign academies.
