Summary/Abstract: The paper offers a brief analysis of the reception of the 16th century printed books from Switzerland in early modern Transylvania as it is reflected in the collections of the colleges from Cluj. It is well known that the Helvetian typographers and the editors had a significant role in editing the most important reference books of Europe, but the spreading of these editions in Transylvania hasn’t been analyzed so far. The study relies mainly on the presentation of three libraries (those of the Catholic, Reformed and Unitarian college), thus it can’t be considered a complete analysis of the phenomenon, however it shows some of the main trends.
