SZÁM Summary Éva Szacsvay REFORMATION - FOLK CULTURE The history of the Carpathian Basin in the i6,h and 17th century, as the conquest of the Ottoman Empire and the division of Hungary into three parts coincides with the separation of the elite and folk culture. The interest in folk lifestyle appeared in the educational role and characteristics of the reformation, initially in the Lutheran, and then in the Dutch and Helvetic reformation. With the widespread ability to reading and writing, this interest came from the Western European schools responsible for training the Protestant pastors to all parts of the Kingdom, the part ruled by the Austrians, the one ruled by the Turks and Transylvania. As one of their functions, the so-called lower clergy took part in education. However, the statistics based on the records show that till the 18th century only 20-25% of the population was able to read. The doctrines of the reformation were not so much accepted as the result of reading the Bible and Catechisms, but as the result of preaching and orality. The interest in country or folk culture originates in the iS* and 19th century from the reformed clergy. This became widespread in the second half of the 19th century, combining the elements of the folk culture and the developing national culture. The folklore, folk art, the material and architectural culture then could be the subject of work for artists, writers, poets, historians of literature, musicologists, architects, playwrights as national culture.-s 18 s-
