In this paper the author deals with the Existentia atomorum (Wittenberg 1667) written by Isaacus Zabanius (1632 – 1707) when he was professor of the College of Eperjes / Prešov in Upper Hungary. After giving a short biography of Zabanius, the author critically examines the results of the earlier Hungarian scholarship on the Existentia atomorum presented by János Erdélyi, Jolán Zemplén and András Mészáros. He points out that their interpretations were seriously affected by a given narrative, moreover in certain cases it has even led to factual mistakes. Finally, the author tries to place the work into a different historical and philosophical context rooted in the Wittenbergian background. The fact that the Existentia atomorum, unlike his other writings in the same period, was published in Wittenberg may explain its apologetic character. The author argues that in this Wittenbergian context the main feature of the work can be found in a kind of minimalism concerning atomic theory.
