Custom and Law in Central Europe CUSTOM AND LAW IN CENTRAL EUROPE Edited by Martyn Rady With an Introduction by János M.

Front Cover: from the original 1517 edition of Werbőczy's Tripartitum Typeset and Printed by Q3 Print Project Management Ltd, Loughborough, Leics. Preface Stephen Werbőczy's account of Hungary's laws and customs, the Tripar-titum Opus Juris Consuetudinarii Inclyti Regni Hungariae, was presented to the Hungarian diet in 1514 and printed three years later in Vienna. Although it never received the royal seal, the Tripartitum rapidly acquired authority and was republished in more than fifty editions. Until 1848, it retained a largely unimpaired influence in respect of Hungarian law and legal procedures. The present volume is a collection of essays drawn from papers delivered at a conference held in Cambridge in April 2003 under the title, 'Werbőczy, Custom and Hungarian Law'. The conference formed part of a much larger and continuing project, led by Professor János M. Bak of the Department of Medieval Studies of the Central European University in Budapest, which is aimed (among much else) at publishing an English-language translation and critical edition of Werbőczy's Tripartitum. The conference was supported by most generous funding from the British Academy and the Central European University. The organizers also gratefully acknowledge the help and support provided by the Faculty of Law of Cambridge University, Corpus Christi College, the Centre for the Study of Central Europe of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London, and the Faculty of Laws of University College London. This collection of essays, all of which have been substantially rewritten since they were first delivered as conference-papers, brings together much of the latest research on law and legal institutions in the kingdom of Hungary and in its sister-kingdom, the triune monarchy of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia. Some of the contributions aim to bring to scholarly attention the legal sources, principal institutions and procedural developments relating to the history of this part of Central Europe. Others touch upon the nature and meaning of custom and of the relationship between custom, law and statute. All are, however, bound together by their recognition of the lasting importance of Werbőczy's Tripartitum for the legal history of Hungary and Croatia. The contributions offer a variety of different perspectives and, sometimes, contradictory assessments. The aim of the volume is not, however, to present a 'common front' but instead to offer new insights on the work, context and legacy of Hungary's 'Tribonian and Bracton'. Publication of this volume has been made possible by a generous grant from the Maitland Fund of the Faculty of Law, Cambridge University. Martyn Rady v Contents Preface v Introduction 1 János M.

Bak 1. The DRMH and the Tripartitum The present collection of papers has its origins in the series Decreta Regni Mediaevalis Hungariae / The Laws of the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary (DRMH), which is a Hungarian and Croatian project led by the Central European University and supported by British, German and North American colleagues, friends and foundations. DRMH is itself part of a much larger project, which was originally conceived by the publisher of Slavonic and East European literature and of a number of journals, Charles Schlacks, Jr (now located, after several moves, in Idyllwild, California). Almost twenty years ago, Schlacks set in motion an ambitious publishing enterprise, the aim of which was to bring into print the laws of Central and Eastern Europe, both historical and contemporary.1 For Hungary, he won the cooperation of Peter Hidas of Montreal, a historian of nineteenth- century Hungary, who agreed to serve as editor. In turn, Peter Hidas found the best person to start the series off with the laws of medieval Hungary. This was György Bónis, the most distinguished historian of law and institutions, and pupil of Ferenc Eckhart. Bónis had the additional advantage of being able to utilize the notes and readings of the late Ferenc Dory, who had long before planned a new edition and Hungarian translation of the medieval laws. In turn, György Bónis turned for help to James Ross Sweeney (of Pennsylvania State University), whom he knew from Sweeney's work on the Hungarian implications of the decretal Intellecto. Having surveyed the material prepared by Bónis, Sweeney decided that yet more help was required, and it was through this route that the present author was enlisted to the task. (He, in turn, knew Sweeney from their time in Germany, when the latter, 1 Besides DRMH, two volumes of Russian laws (incorporating the early laws of Kievan Rus' and the Ulozhenie of 1649) were published. 1 2 Introduction a Tierney-pupil, was working on his dissertation as a Humboldt- Stipen-diat). To make an already long story short, we realized that a volume of the 'laws' (the quotation marks will be explained below) of the first historical period of the kingdom, the so-called Árpádian Age (1000-1301) needed further refinements over and above what Bónis had been able to achieve. The first volume of DRMH appeared, after several years of work by the original Bak-B6nis-Sweeney 'triumvirate', in 1989 but sadly a few months after Bónis's own death.2 For DMRH 1, we tried to sort out what was traditionally regarded as 'law', legal norm and practice in the first three centuries of the kingdom. Had we been purists, we would have had to make a very slim volume and to content ourselves with the decrees passed by king and noble assemblies in the late thirteenth century (under Andrew III, 1290-1301). For, by the rigorous definition of, for example, Armin Wolf, earlier texts could not be termed 'legislation' in the strict sense.3 Nevertheless, a part of the collections (libri) of legal texts attributed to the founder king, St Stephen (1000-1038), survive in a late twelfth- century manuscript; others from thirteenth-century collections. Moreover, references to the 'laws of the holy king' were frequent from the late eleventh century. So, we finally included the collections of St Stephen, as also of Ladislas I (1077-95) and Coloman (1095-1116), as well as the 'privileges' of Andrew II (1205-35), the so-called 'Golden Bulls' (1222, 1231, and their addition in 1267). In the Appendix, we edited synodal statutes of the eleventh and early twelfth centuries which contained both spiritual and secular matters, a charter issued for the nomadic Cumans even though we suspected it to be a forgery,4 and a text that was dated by Döry and Bónis (although known only from a later formulary) to 'c. 1300'.5 Whether the relegation of the synodal statutes under King Ladislas I and Coloman into the Appendix was well founded is debatable. (György Györffy, a leading medievalist of Hungary in the last decades of the twentieth century queried this decision of ours in a review which he planned to write, but which was not, as far as we know, published.)

János M. Bak 3 whatever else belonged to a scholarly edition were included. And, while the contents were praised, the format, the typos and layout were criticized – and rightly so. To set the record straight, however, this was one of the earliest attempts at computerized typesetting, printing, and production, and under these circumstances glitches were bound to occur. (We were ten years later fortunate enough to obtain financial assistance for a corrected and revised edition, which we offered gratis to all owners of the first).6 The subsequent volumes followed in due course: one for the 'Age of Kings of Diverse Houses' (as the old category ran), that is from 1301 to 1457, and one for the reign of Matthias I Corvinus, 1458-90.7 These were initially supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities Translation Projects (in the USA), and some other grants.

  • 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.

  • A TRANSYLVANIAN INTERLUDE on 11 June 1848 Dumitru Brătianu Had
    A TRANSYLVANIAN INTERLUDE On 11 June 1848 Dumitru Brătianu had received his accreditation as diplomatic agent in troubled Austria-Hungary, as the first diplomatic representative of modern Romania.221 Until then, Romanian interests abroad had been represented by officials of the Ottoman suzerain power. He travelled via Vienna, where the situation was confused after the collapse of the interim government led by Karl Ludwig von Fic- quelmont, and reached Pest in late June. Since March, under popular pressure, the Habsburg monarchy appeared to have imploded. Vienna as the official centre of power in the Empire was now challenged by Central European “staging-points in the multilateral contestation” during the events of 1848–49:222 Milan, Buda-Pest,223 Prague, Lemberg, Cracow, Timişoara, Braşov, Blaj and Cluj – to mention just a few of the cities engulfed by the protests – were all bursting with revolu- tionary ferment, political and territorial demands and potential multi- ethnic strife. Only one element in the confusing political landscape of 1848–49 remained stable: the now beleaguered Habsburg dynasty and the principle of dynastic loyalty as the pivotal centre of an otherwise explosive multi-national conundrum. After March and especially after the enactment of the April Laws by the Hungarian Diet, the new Hungarian regime had been operat- ing on the basis of a virtual, if brittle, parliamentary sovereignty and autonomy from Austria. A reformist Hungarian government led by Lajos Batthyány comprised the liberal István Széchenyi, the ‘roman- tic hero’ Lajos Kossuth and the ‘man of the future’, Ferenc Deák.224 Embedded within, and extending beyond, the complex network of constitutional, political, economic and military difficulties facing the empire was the thorny nationalities question.

  • A Unique Type of Archaic Oral Poetry
    Oral Tradition, 6/2 3 (1991): 200-224 Bugaršćice: A Unique Type of Archaic Oral Poetry Josip Kekez Historical and Geographical Defi nition In the context of oral literature, bugaršćice1 represent an important and unique genre in many respects. They are, among other things, striking proof that oral literature is not simply a discovery of the nineteenth century—as was long maintained in South Slavic regions—and that two literatures, oral and written, were in contact from the earliest times in a number of ways, including the manner of their recording and study. On the other hand, we would know nothing of the genre in question and its aesthetic values if interest in oral literature had not existed from the beginning; many passages in the early literature of Croatia would have forever remained obscure, while Croatian poetry of the present day would have assumed a different profi le. Scholars have not so far taken suffi cient account of the fact that the poetic system of the bugaršćica is distinctly indigenous and in many of its features remote from other verse forms of oral literature; nor is there evidence that it existed at any time or in any national community or setting other than those discussed below. Apart from one or two examples, all bugaršćice have been recorded on the eastern Adriatic strip from Istria in the north to the Gulf of Kotor in the south, so that they are geographically strictly defi ned. One poem was recorded on the western side of the Adriatic, in southern Italy, but it was sung in their own language by settlers from the eastern side of the Adriatic.

  • 10. Interlude in Denmark (PDF)
    10 Interlude in Denmark In my early student days -- as I have mentioned in chapter 3 -- my friend Christiansen-Weniger and I won an election as German student representatives on the ticket by striking a mathematical funny bone: Christiansen-Weniger - von Hippel [Christiansen minus von Hippel]. In the meantime, "Krischan" had become a professor of agriculture and had been called to Ankara in that capacity. He was an "unblemished Aryan," still a German citizen, and his lovely wife, Luise, alias "Körnchen," also a youth-movement friend, came to visit us. She intended to fly to Warsaw, and I wanted to fly to Copenhagen via Danzig, in order to visit Olga, who was directing a training school for agricultural helpers in that neighborhood. We therefore decided to fly together from Istanbul. In those early years of aviation, this was a major undertaking. Istanbul did not yet have a real airport and our six-passenger plane, with semi-open cockpit, took off from a meadow at night with the headlights of carefully stationed cars outlining a runway. Before our departure, we received the reassuring news that the plane flying the reverse route had crashed in the Albanian mountains. Our flight proved glorious, however. We passed over the Balkans in semi-darkness. No light shone from the ground there because practically all of its settlements had then been wiped out in the Balkan Wars and World War I. At sunrise we reached the Carpathian mountains and flew along that stunning semi-circle separating Hungary from Poland. The air became turbulent and we had to throw up "par la fenêtre [out the window]." At noon we landed in Warsaw, where Luise left me.

  • The Catholic Clergy and the Diet, 1764–1765* András Forgó University of Pécs [email protected]
    Hungarian Historical Review 10, no. 1 (2021): 73–95 Rebellious Priests? The Catholic Clergy and the Diet, 1764–1765* András Forgó University of Pécs [email protected] The study of the eighteenth-century parliament has intensified in Hungary over the past decade and a half. This tendency is part of a larger European historiographical trend which has revalued the role of the Diets in the study of eighteenth-century political decision-making and political culture. The Hungarian Diet of 1764–1765 is traditionally seen as an outstanding political event in the century, and at the same time as a turning point of the reign of Maria Theresa. After the bitter experiences gained here, she did not convene the estates of Hungary during the remaining fifteen years of her reign, she rather ruled the country by decrees with the help of the institutions of the estates in Hungary. This study is looking for the answer to the question of how the clergy’s opposition to the politics of the court is represented in the sources and how the “change of sides” by the chapter representatives can be grasped in the parliamentary debates. Keywords: Hungarian Diet, Catholic clergy, political culture, lower house, Corpus Juris Hungarici, Tripartitum, pasquillus, constitution, estates, eighteenth century The study of the political activity of the ecclesiastical order in the eighteenth century is not a recent trend in Hungarian historiography. It has long been known in the secondary literature that the advancement of Catholic confessionalization, or in other words the massive support of Catholicism in the era, was accompanied by an increase in the role of the clergy in public life.

  • Combating Economic Crimes Balancing Competing Rights and Interests in Prosecuting the Crime of Illicit Enrichment
    ROUTLEDGE RESEARCH IN TRANSNATIONAL CRIME AND CRIMINAL LAW Download from:aghalibrary.com Combating Economic Crimes Balancing Competing Rights and Interests in Prosecuting the Crime of Illicit Enrichment Ndiva Kofele-Kale Download from:aghalibrary.com Combating Economic Crimes In the last decade a new tool has been developed in the global war against offi - cial corruption through the introduction of the offense of “illicit enrichment” in almost every multilateral anti-corruption convention. Illicit enrichment is defi ned in these conventions to include a reverse burden clause, which triggers an automatic presumption that any public offi cial found in “possession of inexplicable wealth” must have acquired it illicitly. However, the reversal of the burden of proof clauses raises an important human rights issue because it confl icts with the accused individual’s right to be presumed innocent. Unfor- tunately, the recent spate of international legislation against offi cial corruption provides no clear guidelines on how to proceed in balancing the right of the accused to be presumed innocent against the competing right of society to trace and recapture illicitly acquired national wealth. Combating Economic Crimes therefore sets out to address what has been left unanswered by these multilateral conventions, to wit, the level of burden of proof that should be placed on a public offi cial who is accused of illicitly enriching himself from the resources of the state, balanced against the protec- tion of legitimate community interests and expectations for a corruption-free society. The book explores the doctrinal foundations of the right to a presump- tion of innocence and reviews the basic due process protections afforded to all accused persons in criminal trials by treaty, customary international law and municipal law.

  • Notes of Michael J. Zeps, SJ
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History Department 1-1-2011 Documents of Baudirektion Wien 1919-1941: Notes of Michael J. Zeps, S.J. Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

  • Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube Interfluve at the End of the 6600–6000 BC Period of Rapid Climate Change> a New Solutio
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve at the end of the 6600–6000 BC period of Rapid Climate Change> a new solution to an old problem Katarina Botic´ Institute of Archaeology, Zagreb, CR [email protected] ABSTRACT – The idea of the Neolithisation of the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve has undergone very little change since S. Dimitrijevi≤'s time. Despite their many shortcomings, new archaeological exca- vations and radiocarbon dates of Early Neolithic sites have provided us with new insight into the process of Neolihisation of this region. Using the recently published work by B. Weninger and L. Clare (Clare, Weninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014) as a starting point, the available radiocarbon and archaeological data are used to build up a time frame comparable to the wider region of Southeast Europe and climate conditions for specific period. The results fit the model of Neolithisation well (Weninger et al. 2014.9, Fig. 4), filling in the geographical gaps. IZVLE∞EK – Premise o neolitizaciji v medre≠ju Save, Drave in Donave se od ≠asa S. Dimitrijevi≤a niso veliko spremenile. Nova arheolo∏ka izkopavanja in radiokarbonski datumi zgodnjega neolitika so, kljub mnogim pomanjkljivostim, prinesli nove vpoglede v proces neolitizacije na tem obmo≠ju. Za os- novo pri interpretaciji smo uporabili nedavno objavljena dela B. Weningerja in L. Clarea (Clare, We- ninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014), dosegljive radiokarbonske datume in arheo- lo∏ke podatke pa smo uporabili za izdelavo ≠asovnega okvirja, ki je primerljiv s ∏ir∏im obmo≠jem ju- govzhodne Evrope in s klimatskimi pogoji za posamezna obdobja.
