Abstract
This is the story of a work of one of the greatest early-modern humanists of Hungary, Albert Szenci Molnár, which had been lost for almost 400 years. The rediscovered Icon religionis or 'Image of Religion' is one of the oldest broadsheets printed in the Hungarian language. It was found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam on 30 October 2012. This study will focus on the history, the meaning and the Dutch background of this work. Furthermore, I will devote attention to Dutch-Flemish-Hungarian intellectual relations with regard to this author, the work and the time at which it was created.
