The Finantial Aid Granted from the Proceeds of Tricesima to the Reformed Parish of Cluj in the 17th Century

Summary/Abstract: Throughout the 17th century the reformed parish of Cluj/Kolozsvár benefi ted of a given material support provided by the princes. One part of this material aid consisting of a variable sum had been enjoyed by the parish from the year 1610 onwards presumably until the decline of the Principality. This sum was granted from one of the proceeds of the Principality, namely the tricesima (thirtieth). The offi cials authorized to receive it were the following: initially either the fi rst minister or his authorized representative, between the years 1625–1652 the patrons of the parish and from the year 1652 onwards the main curator and three more curators. The above mentioned income (tricesima) constituted the source for the wages of the parish clerks, for the boarding of the students and for the maintenance of the parish edifi ces. However, due to the fact that the expenses of the parish exceeded by far this sum, there was great demand for additional income in order to cover all expenses.
