For more information, please contact [email protected]. INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality Is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pag8(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing tha Ordar Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Since no great culture of the Old World has ever been entirely Isolated, this comparative study is aimed at broadening one's perspectives by learning about those people who live in differing national, social or cultural groups# By acquiring some knowledge of similarities and differences between our institutions and others, educators gain better understanding of their own system and the aspirations and ideals of other nations* One should be reminded that each nation has contributed to the world civilization and that humanity would be incom­ plete without that contribution. New and increasing demands were made upon the historical commentaries with the birth and developments of great European centers of learning. %e history of medieval Hungarian universities has been well-explored; and institutions of the late eighteenth century and contemporary higher education were also examined In educational literature. However, the seventeenth and early eighteenth-century university, the ancestor of to­ day's EStvos Lorand Tudomanvegvetem [Botvos Lorand University] of Budapest, gained very little recognition in English literature. The present study was designed to fill in the interval and describe the formation and development of one of Hungary's oldest and existing uni­ versities in the small western Hungarian city of Nagyszombat. The search was mainly concerned with the I38 years of university life under the Jesuit administration* The seventeenth-century institution was elevated through

  • Hungary's Policy Towards Its Kin Minorities
    Hungary’s policy towards its kin minorities: The effects of Hungary’s recent legislative measures on the human rights situation of persons belonging to its kin minorities Óscar Alberto Lema Bouza Supervisor: Prof. Zsolt Körtvélyesi Second Semester University: Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem, Budapest, Hungary Academic Year 2012/2013 Óscar A. Lema Bouza Abstract Abstract: This thesis focuses on the recent legislative measures introduced by Hungary aimed at kin minorities in the neighbouring countries. Considering as relevant the ones with the largest Hungarian minorities (i.e. Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine), the thesis starts by presenting the background to the controversy, looking at the history, demographics and politics of the relevant states. After introducing the human rights standards contained in international and national legal instruments for the protection of minorities, the thesis looks at the reasons behind the enactment of the laws. To do so the politically dominant concept of Hungarian nation is examined. Finally, the author looks at the legal and political restrictions these measures face from the perspective of international law and the reactions of the affected countries, respectively. The research shows the strong dependency between the measures and the political conception of the nation, and points out the lack of amelioration of the human rights situation of ethnic Hungarians in the said countries. The reason given for this is the little effects produced on them by the measures adopted by Hungary and the potentially prejudicial nature of the reaction by the home states. The author advocates for a deeper cooperation between Hungary and the home states. Keywords: citizenship, ethnic preference, Fundamental Law, home state, human rights, Hungary, kin state, minorities, nation, Nationality Law, preferential treatment,Status Law.

  • Hungarian Studies Review
    Prince Rupert, Godson of Gabor Bethlen Maria H. Krisztinkovich Prince Rupert's life is familiar to Canadian readers and scholars. Not so well known are Rupert's and his family's connections to Hungarian history, which were predominantly Calvinistic, like Rupert's own roots.1 The countries in this Protestant power-play were: his father's homeland, the Palatinate; his grandfather's England; his parents' kingdom, Bohemia; his godfather's principali- ty, Transylvania; and his Protestant aunts' and uncles' Holland and Sweden. Five of Rupert's many brothers and sisters also left their mark on history. They lived through the Thirty Years' War, of which Rupert's family was partly the victim, and partly the cause. Various writers have referred to the compelling personality of the prince by using colourful epithets: the Son of the Winter King, Robert le Diable, the Dark and Handsome Prince, the Cavalry Leader, the Mercenary of the King of Hungary, the Prince Without a Principality, the Would-be King of Madagascar, the Buccaneer, the Pirate, the Robber Prince, the Recluse Rupert, and so on, which reveal many facets of Rupert's life story, except for a generally ignored one: Prince Rupert was godson of Gabor Bethlen, Prince of Transylvania and, for a brief time, King of Hungary. Here we must resist the temptation to immerse ourselves in the tales of Rupert's romantic life of adventure and prowess, or in the portraits displaying his martial good looks. It is no exaggeration, perhaps, to claim that Rupert was the most talked about person of his era.

  • Literacy and Illiteracy in Austria–Hungary. the Case of Bulgarian Migrant Communities
    Hungarian Historical Review 3, no. 3 (2014): 683–711 Penka Peykovska Literacy and Illiteracy in Austria–Hungary. The Case of Bulgarian Migrant Communities The present study aims to contribute to the clarification of the question of the spread of literacy in East Central Europe and the Balkans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by offering an examination of Bulgarian migrant diasporas in Austria–Hungary and, in particular, in Hungary, i.e. the Eastern part of the Empire. The study of literacy among migrants is important because immigrants represent a possible resource for the larger societies in which they live, so comparisons of the levels of education among migrants (for instance with the levels of education among the majority community, but also with the levels of education among the communities of their homelands) may shed light on how the different groups benefited from interaction with each other. In this essay I analyze data on literacy, illiteracy and semi-literacy rates among migrants on the basis of the Hungarian censuses of 1890, 1900 and 1910. I present trends and tendencies in levels of literacy or illiteracy in the context of the social aspects of literacy and its relationship to birthplace, gender, age, confession, migration, selected destinations and ethnicity. I also compare literacy rates among Bulgarians in Austria–Hungary with the literacy rates among other communities in the Dual Monarchy and Bulgaria and investigate the role of literacy in the preservation of identity. My comparisons and analyses are based primarily (but not exclusively) on data regarding the population that had reached the age at which school attendance was compulsory, as this data more accurately reflect levels of literacy than the data regarding the population as a whole.

  • Hungarian New Constitution of 25 April 2011
    MEMORANDUM on the HUNGARIAN NEW CONSTITUTION OF 25 APRIL 2011 This memorandum has been prepared, by Grégor Puppinck, PhD Alessio Pecorario, PhD Director Adviser May 19 th , 2011 European Centre for Law and Justice http://www.eclj.org ECLJ Memorandum on the Hungarian new Constitution of 25 April 2011 0 Introduction The President of the Republic of Hungary, Pál Schmitt signed Hungary’s new constitution on 25 April 2011 after the Hungarian Parliament approved it by an overwhelming majority. The ceremony took place at the President’s Sandor Palace office in Budapest. This new Hungarian Constitution has stirred much debate in Europe. An impartial analysis of the text suggests that Hungary’s new Supreme Law could surprise a secularist and postmodern Europe. However, the new Constitution’s content should not be considered innovative with regard to European constitutional practice. In large part, critics of the new Constitution 1 argue the document stems from Christian ideals and thought, as its Preamble references Christianity. It is also criticized for its choice to protect the right to life and human dignity from the moment of conception, as well as the marriage and family, and prohibits practices aimed at eugenics. Symbolically, the preamble of the Constitution starts with a deeply emblematic pledge, declaring the Hungarian people “ proud that one thousand years ago [its] King, Saint Stephen, based the Hungarian State on solid foundations, and made [the] country a part of Christian Europe .” 2 Additionally, the opposition objects to Parliament’s rapid adoption of the text, accusing the government of having been marginalized during the whole process of reform.

Abstract The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two- pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population.

  • Myth and Reality. Changing Awareness of Transylvanian Identity
    Sándor Vogel Transylvania: Myth and Reality. Changing Awareness of Transylvanian Identity Introduction In the course of history Transylvania has represented a specific configuration in Eur­ ope. A unique role was reserved for it by its three ethnic communities (Hungarian, Romanian and Saxon), its three estates in politicallaw, or natio (nations), Hungarian, Szekler and Saxon existing until modern times, and its four established religions (recepta re/igio), namely Catholic, Lutheran, Calvinist and Unitarian, along with the Greek Orthodox religion of Romanians which was tolerated by Transylvania's political law. At the same time the Transylvanian region was situated at the point of contact or intersection oftwo cultures, the Western and the East European. A glance at the ethnic map - displaying an oveIWhelming majority of Hungarians and Saxon settlers in medieval times - clearly reveals that its evolution is in many respects associated with the rise ofthe medieval State of Hungary and resultant from the Hungarian king's con­ scious policies of state organization and settlement. lts historical development, social order, system of state organization and culture have always made it a part of Europe in all these dimensions. During the centuries ofthe Middle Ages and early modern times the above-mention­ ed three ethnic communities provided the estate-based framework for the region's spe­ cial state organization. The latter served in turn as an integument for the later develop­ ment of nationhood for the Hungarian and Saxon communities, and as a model for the Romanian community. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the period of the Ottoman State's expansion, the Transylvanian region achieved the status of an independent state in what was referred to in contemporary Hungarian documents as the 'shadow ofthe Turkish Power', thereby becoming the repository ofthe idea of a Hungarian State, the ultimate resource of Hungarian culture and the nerve center of its development.
