Before the church union in Uzhorod in 1646, the clergy of the
Byzantine rite belonged to villains. However, even later, the
social problems and the questions of jurisdiction were not
solved until the establishment of the Greek Catholic Eparchy in
1771. Hence the pejorative evaluation to the role of Roman
Catholic Bishops of Eger became a common thought of the Greek
Catholic historians. On the contrary, data of the archivalia and
book collections in Eger are evidences to state that the Greek
Catholic seminarists have there given education in the Byzantine
liturgy and Church Slavonic, too. Heritage of the teacher of
these subjects, Lucas Habina, have listed and held in the
Bishopric Archive. - The paper is a Russian-language summary of
the works published by the author in Hungary earlier.
