Summary/Abstract: The review Erdélyi Múzeum was established in 1874, in Kolozsvár/Cluj, publishing studies and articles from various disciplines in Hungarian language. Being forced multiple times to cease its appearance for shorter or longer periods of time during the course of its history, the review appears now regularly, publishing studies, essays and book reviews in the field of human disciplines. By doing so, it contributed considerably to researches and studies in the field of literature: it published studies regarding the book and manuscript collection of the academic society in Transylvania, the Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület (Transylvanian Museum Society), as well as studies revealing the European context of the local literature and culture. Especially significant are the thematic issues of the review, dedicated to Sándor Petőfi, Miklós Wesselényi, István Széchényi, János Baranyai Decsi, or the Transylvanian Enlightenment. The present paper analyses also the connection between the studies published in the review and the reading sessions organized within the Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület, as well as the book series of the Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület, the Erdélyi Tudományos Füzetek (Transylvanian Scientific Booklets).
