Miklós Bogáthi Fazekas and the First Unitarian Hymnal

Summary/Abstract: This article examines a Unitarian hymnal, and its textual variations from the beginning of the 17th century. While the sources of the hymnal have not been entirely mapped, this article explores the influence of the works of Miklós Bogáthi Fazekas (Nicholas Fazakas Bogáthi) (1548–1592?/1598?).His psalm-translations are important indicators of the material (the hymns), because his psalter was propagated through hand-written copies of the hymnals (manuscripts) which have been thoroughly examined by the Pécs-based Bogáthi research team.Definitive conclusions cannot be drawn about the sources, the rewriting processes, and the editorial intentions based solely on the relationships betweenthe printed textual variations in the hymnals and the Bogáthi manuscripts. The article also explores the relationship between the lost Toroczkai-gradual and some of the hymns in the 1616 Unitarian hymnal.
