Discuții în actualitate? Relevanța reeditării Didahiilor lui Petru Maior.

The article proposes an analysis of the homiletic work, Didahii, a representative but insufficiently studied book for the Central European and Transylvanian Catholic Enlightenment. The study underlines the peculiarities of Maior's conception in relation to the Transylvanian homiletic literature. On the one side, there is an analysis of the approached topics and the influences of the previous manuscript or cultic literature from Transylvania (17th - 18th centuries). On the other side, there is an investigation on the impact of the ideas of Catholic Reformation and Central European enlightenment on Petru Maior. The work is unique for the Romanian enlightenment in Transylvania. It puts into value the experience of the Viennese rationalist pedagogy of the time, based on the previous existence of a rich and extremely efficient formative Transylvanian homiletic literature.
