Sint fortunati sine morbo tot tibi menses,
Tempore quot verno parturit hybla favos,
Nec prius incurras volo saeva pericla viarum,
Quam se se immiti copulet agna lupo.

May you have so many fortunate months, without illness, / as many
honeycombs are found in springtime at Mount Hybla, / and I wish
you to meet fierce perils on your way later / than wolf mate meek
lamb.
In the Transylvanian Kolozsvár
on July 30, 1711.
Let the noble FERENC P. PÁRIZ,
devoting his efforts to the healing of body and soul, be thus
praised by Count Mihály Teleki, grandson of the first Mihály, at
his age of eleven

Kolozsvár/Cluj, July 30, 1711
Teleki, Mihály
(1700-1745), Councillor of the
Transylvanian Government
Count Mihály Teleki of Szék was born on September 6, 1700, a son
of Mihály Teleki (1671-1720) General Captain of Kővár (Chior) and
General of Prince Ferenc II. Rákóczi, and Katalin Toroczkay
(?-1723), grandson of the great Transylvanian politician Mihály
Teleki (1634-1690). He studied in Kolozsvár, and here wrote his
first Latin treatise, as a student, on the necessity of good
deeds. He participated at the Parlament of Nagyszeben (Sibiu) in
1736, and became Imperial Chamberlain and Councillor of the
Transylvanian Government. In 1741 he participated in the Deputy of
Vienna. From 1742 he was a member of the General Audit Office. He
died on September 10, 1745 in Olthévíz (Nagyküküllő county, today
Hoghiz). He married Klára Bethlen (?-1755), daughter of Miklós
Bethlen (1642-1716); their children all died at an early age. His
works are: Exercitatio theologica de bonorum operum
necessitate. Kolozsvár, 1718. – Dissertatio philosophica de
unione mentis cum corpore, quam … in Coll. Claudiopolitano
… publico exposuit examini … Kolozsvár, 1718. – Compendium
Cronicae Transylvaniae. Kolozsvár, 1731. – Our Library
keeps a copy of his published funeral
sermon.
Count Teleki made his note in the Album in
Kolozsvár, at his age of eleven, on the same day when his elder
brother János (p. 86) and their
tutor András Ajtai Szabó (p. 451) also made
their mementos. He regards it important to say that he is grandson
of the first Mihály Teleki, the renowned politician. The next page
of the Album (p. 89) contains the note,
dated two weeks later, of Professor Sámuel Szatmárnémethi, to
whose funeral in 1717 a Latin poem was written by Count Mihály
Teleki.
