Summary/Abstract: Medicine as science flourishes in the XVIIIth century. The Transylvanian area was familiar with this phenomenon, more and more young people of Transylvania being encountered studying in important university centres from Europe such as Vienna, Leiden, Göttingen, Trnava, Utrecht or Buda. Once returned to Transylvania medicine university graduates professed in this area, and following their personal experience subsequently have published specialised works on different subjects: plague, hepatitis, mineral waters, diet etc. There are analysed works of personalities of Transylvanian medical science such as Samuel Köleséri, Martinus Lange, Lucas Wagner, Francisc Nyulas, Samuel Pataki, Johann Hedwig, Iosif Szotiyori and Vasilie Popp.
