This study brings to light János Baranyai Decsi’s „Antithesis”, a piece of the religious polemic literature in favour of the Reform Church against Catholicism, a work believed to be los t; moreover his until now unknown poem against the Jesuits. The author of this study has found both Latin works in May 2001, in the Teleki Library at Marosvásárhely, lecturing there on the 400th anniversary of János Baranyai Decsi’s death. (See: Holler László: Baranyai Decsi János, a történetíró. Erdélyi Múzeum LXIII. 2001. 3-7.) They were found in the only surviving copy of the printed description of Baranyai Decsi’s journey from Transylvania to Wittenberg taken in 1587: Johannes Cz. Deczi: Hodoeporicon itineris Transylvanici, Moldavici, Rvssici, Cassvbii, Masovici, Prvssici, Borussici, Pomerani, Marchici and Saxonici, exantlati 1587. Wittebergae, M.D.LXXXVII. (RMK III. 764). By means of these discoveries the long-debated question of the authorship of an anonym religious polemic work published in Latin in Basel in 1591 and in the same year in English in London now can be decided. These publications are the following: „ Oratio De constituendo iudice controversiarum religionis Pontificiae atque Reformatae... Basileae, 1591.” (RMK III. 810) and „ The Trial of Trueth, or A Treatise Wherein is declared who should be Iudge between the Reformed Churches and the Romish... London, 1591” (RMK III. P. 5515). From now on this long oratio should be considered as János Baranyai Decsi’s work with certainty. The author publishes the text and the facsimile of the poem’s Hungarian translation by Mr. István Tóth, a well known translator of Latin poetry in Hungary and Transylvania . This translation work was Mr. Tóth’s last one just a few days before his death in 2001. That’s why the author dedicates his paper to Mr. István Tóth’s memory.
