A püspöki vizitáció rítusa és rendszabályai az erdélyi unitáriusoknál a 17. században
There is a lack of a broad synthesis focusing on the history of canonical visitation rites and regulations in Hungarian special literature. The last Unitarian summary of visitation rites history was compiled in the 1930’s by bishop Boros György (George Boros) (1855–1941). In the 21st century only Dániel Bárth (1976–) pioneered again on this topic. But none of the above-mentioned focused on visitations performed by deans or bishops. This article focuses on the history and contents of the 1614 canonical visitation (canonica visitatio) orders compiled by bishop Toroczkai Máté (Matthew Toroczkai) (1553–1616), revised in the 1690’s, and then used until 1741, when bishop Szentábrahámi Lombárd Mihály (Michael Lombárd Szentábrahámi) (1683–1758) and his contributors edited a new visitation regulation.
