Statue of Károlyi from Gönc, photographed in 1890

Gáspár Károlyi, or in Protestant usage, Károli (c. 1530, Nagykároly – 31 December 1592,[1] Gönc) was a Hungarian Calvinist pastor. He was a major figure in the Reformed Church in Hungary.[2] He edited the Vizsoly Bible.[3]

Origin

He was born in Nagykároly (present-day day Carei) c. 1530 as Gáspár Radicsics. Károlyi was likely of Serbian descent and his parents might have fled north from the Délvidék due to the Ottomans' hazard.[4]
