Summary/Abstract: One of the consequences on a long term of the Union with the Church of Rome, which was opening the Transylvanian 18th century, was, undoubtedly, the formation of the elites. It is a complex phenomenon whose bases were laid in the first half of the 18th century and whose results are to be seen mostly in the second half of the century, a continuous effort aimed at the synchronization with the European Enlightenment. The politics and practices of the time focused on the intellectual formation in the important Catholic schools, following the tradition established by the bishop Inochenţie Micu. Great personalities of the Transylvanian culture and history, Samuil Micu, Gheorghe Şincai, Petru Maior or Ioan Budai-Deleanu journeyed to these centers of science and culture and brought the Lights in Transylvania.
