Abstract

The article highlights the teachings of Cornelius Jansen that influenced the Transylvanian prince Francis II Rákóczi. It focuses on the Prince's Memoirs and Confessions and draws parallels between the Jansen-Augustin church father and Francis II Rákóczi. Although the prince did not openly declare himself a Jansenist, we can nevertheless trace the basic tenets of Cornelius Jansen in him.
