I hope that it will be a point of honour among us all, that , we saall never desert those who. have acted unsuccessfully upon Whig prinCiples, while we continue to profess an admiration of those . who succeeded in the sam" principles, in the year 1688.-Memoira and CorrtJJPondence oj C. J. P03:, voL i. p. 146. THE chief object of this work is to !pve a true and correct relation of the life and character of Louis Kossuth, and especially to point out the principles by which he was guided before and after the Revolution of 1848. The intro­ ductory Histor,y is therefore little more than a compendium of such events as contributed to form the character- of the Hungarian people, and conduced to the development of , those laws and institutions by which Hungary claims to be considered an independent nation, capable of self-govern­ ment. Anonymous publications, defamatory of the cause of Hungary, as well as of the character of Louis Kossuth, have been more or less credited in England during the last five years. The latlj Governor of Hungary has been represented , as a Demagogue or Red Republican; though aecusations of opposite tendencies have likewise been laid to hi~ charge. -'While each separate statement (like everything false) has - b vi PREFACE. been dropped when refuted, the impression left on many whose judgment and opinion deserve respect, has been derogatory to Kossuth. Englishmen, happy in the enjoyment of con­ stitutional freedom, have listened to calumnies ingeniously devised to court the despotic powers of Europe, and which, at the expense of truth, have injured the unfortunate; but the author of this narrative trusts it will be read in that spirit of justice and fairness which has ever been the boast • and pride of the English nation: it does not presume to plead the cause 'Of Kossuth, but only to communicate facts, some of which have hitherto been unknown in this country, while others have been misstated. As actions 'can only be fairly judged., when th~ir motives are understood, tho~e who would form a just estimate of the character of Kossuth must never lose sight of the main feature which distinguishes him, like the first William ,of Orange, Algernon Sydney, and George Washington, from most other great Statesmen, viz.; that he never stooped to expediency to obtain his object, however excellent, nor sacrificed one iota of the great prin­ ciple of right, even to establish right: for this cause he has had to contend against philanthropists as well as against tyrants, while striving to promote the moral before the material welfare of the people . Thoug~ some of the ehief incidents related (more par­ ticularly those connecbed with the "Revolution) are com­ piled from books already published., many new facts have been brought together and chronologically arranged, so 3S to form It connected whole. For the anecdotes relating to the vii early life of Kossuth, and to the affairs of Hungary pre­ ceding the Revolution" the' author is chiefl.yindebted to the kindness of an Hungaril!oD- Gentleman, himself an eye­ witness of much that is here recorded, though he took no active part in the political events of the perio~ It is impossible for the historian of such recent events wholly to escape the charge of having derived information more from one source than another, but with the desire to be impartial, liooks, as well as' people, of various shades of opinion, have been consulted.

  • Die Anfänge Der Ungarischen Geschichte
    Die Anfänge der ungarischen Geschichte Einführung Die Anfänge der ungarischen Geschichte – und allgemein „die Anfänge“ der Geschichte – sind schwierig zu bestimmen, weil es keinen Anfangspunkt, sondern ein allmähliches Auftauchen aus dem Unbekannten ist, und „die Anfänge“ hauptsächlich durch Rückfolgerungen der Wissenschaftler konstruiert sind. Hier kann natürlich auch nur oberflächlich darüber gesprochen werden, ab wann über die Vorfahren der Ungarn gesprochen werden kann. Wir werden das tun aufgrund des ungarischen Wortschatzes, aufgrund von archäologischen Funden sowie aufgrund von frühen Geschichtstexten, in denen das Thema thematisiert wurde. Laut Sprachwissenschaften kann den Ungarn eindeutig ein Ursprungsort zugewiesen werden, nämlich die Gegend des Ural, im heutigen Russland. Aufgrund der Sprache werden die Ungarn als ein finno-ugrisches Volk bezeichnet. Auf der Stammtafel der uralischen Sprachen, wo das heutige Ungarisch als eines der Ergebnisse einer Sprachentwicklung platziert wird und wo die andere große Sprache das Finnische ist, finden wir auch eine ganze Reihe kleinerer Sprachen. Die Geschichte dieser Sprachen geht zurück ins 4. Jahrtausend v. u. Z., also 6.000 Jahre vor unserer Gegenwart. Da gab es eine sogenannte uralische Sprache. Auch in der ungarischen Sprache wurden Wörter identifiziert, die damals in den Wortschatz aufgenommen wurden. Die Wanderung der Ungarn Die erste Abzweigung fand 4.000 v. u. Z. statt. Zu dieser Zeit haben sich die samojedischen und die finno-ugrischen Zweige getrennt. Das wird so interpretiert, dass diese Völker von einem gemeinsam bewohnten Gebiet abgewandert seien. Bis ca. 2.000 v. u. Z. wird von den finno-ugrischen Sprachen gesprochen, als die Finnen, Ungarn etc. zusammengelebt haben. Zum Wortschatz der finno-ugrischen Völker gehören auch Wörter, die Hinweise darauf geben, in welchem Gebiet sie gelebt und was sie gemacht haben, d.h.

A menționa și a cuprinde tot ceea ce face ca acest spațiu să fie unic, recognoscibil și specific, aproape că este imposibil. În timp ce faceți cunoștință cu specificurile acesteia care i-au inspirat secole în șir pe locuitorii ei și cu operele oamenilor de seamă care provin de aci, vi se deschid și ramifică noi drumuri de investigație, gândire și înțelegere a câmpiei voivodinene. Tocmai din această cauză, nici autorii prezentei cărți n-au fost pretențioși în intenția de a prezenta tot ceea ce Voivodina a fost și este. Mai întâi, aceasta nu este o carte despre istoria Voivodinei, și deci, nu oferă o prezentare detaliată a istoriei furtunoase a acestei părți a Câmpiei Panonice.

  • The Romance Population in the Medieval Kingdom of Hungary
    ANALELE BANATULUI, S.N., ARHEOLOGIE ISTORIE, XXII, 2014 http://muzeulbanatului.ro/mbt/istorie/publicatii/ab.htm THE ROMANCE POPULATION IN THE MEDIEVAL KINGDOM OF HUNGARY Peter Bučko* Keywords: Romance population; medieval Hungary; Srem; Spiš; Transylvania, Tokaj; pilgrims; Hospitallers; Templars Cuvinte cheie: populaţie romanică; Ungaria medievală; Srem; Spiš; Transilvania; Tokaj; pelerini; Ospitalieri; Templieri (Abstract) Medieval kingdom of Hungary was since its very begining founded on the basis of multiethnicity and openness to foreigners. Foreigners in Hungary, especially in the 11th and 12th century came from Western Europe. Great immigration waves of the romance population are documented mostly during the reign of king Géza II (1141 – 1162), when they managed to settle in peripheral regions of the country and increase the population and signicance of weakly populated regions. Foreigners in the 12th recieved privileged status as the „guests“. In the 11th and 12th century these guests have settled in Srem, Spiš, Transylvania and Tokaj. Some information about Srem region are provided by crusades chronicles. In Srem there was a village called Francavilla, which belonged to the oldest and most important romanesque settlement in Hungary. e Guests in Transylvania had their own church organization and there were several bishops of Transylvania and Bihar/Oradea of western european origin. Other regions with Romanesque population – Spiš and Tokaj laid on international routes. e collegiate chapter of Spiš even owned vineyards in Tokaj – in Sárospátak, one of the oldest Hungarian cities with privileges. A large number of documented pilgrimage passing through Hungary could also stand behind the increase of new romance population in the country. Additional aspect of the Crusades was the creation of religious orders, the Knights Templar and the Hospitallers, who just few decades after their formation appeared in Hungary and were engaged in the life of Hungarian kingdom.

  • Chronic Myopia: Foundations of Contemporary
    CHRONIC MYOPIA: FOUNDATIONS OF CONTEMPORARY WESTERN PERSPECTIVES ON THE BALKANS Brittany Kelley, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2012 APPROVED: Nancy Stockdale, Major Professor Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Kelley, Brittany, Chronic Myopia: Foundations of Contemporary Western Perspectives on the Balkans. Master of Arts (History), August 2012, 79 pp., 5 illustrations, bibliography, 44 titles. The construction of Southeastern Europe in Western imagination is the result of assertions of imperial power from some of the first recorded histories onward to modern time. Instead of providing alternative narratives gaping differences in time period, literary genres and geographical origins ballast stereotypical racist tropes and derogatory images of the countries of Southeastern Europe. For example, Roman histories, secondary historical works, twentieth century travel literature, and Central Intelligence Agency estimates all exhibit the same perception. The narrative created by these accounts is limited, remarkably racist and counterfactual. While there has been an abundance of new scholarship aimed at debunking the myths surrounding the area, much of the revisionist histories focus on placing blame, proving ethnogenesis, and serving political purposes. Understanding how the sources continue to influence perception is a pivotal step to understanding Southeastern

But methodologically two reservations should be made. Firstly, not many documents expressly mention ethnic or linguistic problems. And secondly, nations were not a dominant concept in medieval politics1. In the later Middle Ages, nations existed primarily “abroad”, among merchants and craftsmen from distant regions2 and among students at universities far away from their homes3.

  • Sirmium in Justinian I's Politics
    Piotrków Historical Annales, 2020, Special Issue, pp. 29-49 www.ihpt.pl/pzh DOI: 10.25951/4216 Stanisław Turlej https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3578-9139 Jagiellonian University e-mail: [email protected] Sirmium in Justinian I’s Politics Sirmium w polityce Justyniana I Abstract In Late Antiquity, Sirmium on the Sava River in Pannonia was undoubt- edly the most important and famous city of the Roman Empire in the Danubi- an territories. An analysis of the Emperor’s novels devoted to Justiniana Prima (XI and CXXXI, 3), the works of Procopius of Caesarea, Cassiodorus and Hi- erocles’ geographical work provides a lot of important information about the functioning of this centre and the situation in the Danubian region, but not about Sirmium’s great significance to Justinian. There is no basis in the sources for crediting the Emperor with plans or actual political and military actions dictated solely by the desire to capture this city. Abstrakt W późnym antyku Sirmium nad Sawą w Panonii było niewątpliwie najważniejszym i najsłynniejszym miastem cesarstwa rzymskiego na obszarach naddunajskich. Analiza nowel cesarza Justyniana poświęconych Justynianie Primie (XI i CXXXI, 3), twórczości Prokopiusza z Cezarei, Kasjodora oraz dzieła geograficznego Hieroklesa dostarcza wielu ważnych informacji o funk- cjonowaniu tego ośrodka i sytuacji w regionie naddunajskim, lecz nie o wielkim 30 Stanisław Turlej znaczeniu Sirmium dla Justyniana. Nie ma podstaw źródłowych, by przypisywać cesarzowi plany bądź realne działania polityczne i militarne podyktowane wyłącznie chęcią zajęcia tego miasta.

The most important are two almost completely preserved heads of deities. The head of a young person made of milky white, fine-grained marble of exceptionally fine texture from Pentelicon was found under the Late Roman floor in room 7 of the residential structure. The sculpture, of exceptional quality, is from the second half of the 1st century and represents a deity, most probably Venus or Apollo. Another head made of Carrara marble, from the 4th century, was found in a secondary position and on the basis of its mural crown is identified as the Tyche of Sirmium.

Although sudden changes in microclimatic factors are known to damage and/or destroy archaeological finds, in Serbia, their impact and its analysis are neglected. There is no con- tinuous monitoring and control of microclimatic conditions or their impact on architectural re- mains in archaeological sites. This paper aims at stressing the necessity of introducing mandatory microclimatic monitoring in the process of designing protective structures over archaeological sites. For the purpose of this paper, the actual air temperature and air humidity values were mon- itored in the Visitor Centre of the Archaeological site 1a Imperial Palace Sirmium, designated cul- tural heritage of exceptional importance. The contamination level of archaeological finds in the site was microbiologically analysed. The findings showed that during the phase of microclimatic mon- itoring (February–April 2021), air humidity was almost constantly above the levels set by standards and recommendations for museum collections (>60%).

  • Ostrogothic Provinces: Administration and Ideology
    CHAPTER 4 Ostrogothic Provinces: Administration and Ideology Jonathan J. Arnold Introduction This chapter focuses on the non-Italian lands that were part of the Ostrogothic kingdom, here referred to as ‘provinces’, but not to be confused with the prov- inces that constituted the two dioceses of Italy. Indeed, those Italian lands were at the core of the Ostrogothic realm and so synonymous with it that the term ‘Ostrogothic Italy’ is commonly used. Yet even in its earliest years, the Ostrogothic kingdom included lands that lay beyond the diocesan boundaries of Italy and were thus, strictly speaking, not Italian. Moreover, through military campaigns and acts of annexation, these territories increased, particularly dur- ing the reign of Theoderic (compare Figures 1.1 and 1.2). To the north and east, the Ostrogothic regime claimed the Illyrian provinces of Noricum, Pannonia Savia, and Dalmatia, later capturing Sirmium and re-establishing Italian con- trol over Pannonia Sirmiensis. To the west, it annexed portions of eastern Gaul (Mediterranean Provence), later adding the entirety of the Visigothic kingdom and expanding into Burgundy. A realm of this magnitude had not existed in the West since the mid 5th century, and both the Ostrogothic administration and its Italian subjects, as self-conscious heirs to the western Roman Empire, celebrated these achievements as a bona fide imperial restoration. Theoderic, it was claimed, had conquered the barbarians and returned civilitas and liber- tas to the Gauls; Amalasuentha, likewise, had made the Danube Roman again. As former imperial territories, the very acquisition of these provinces helped to legitimize contemporary understandings of the Ostrogothic kingdom as a revived Roman Empire.

  • The Origins and the Transformation of the Early Hungarian State
    The origins and the transformation of the early Hungarian state György Szabados ** What does the state mean? Why did the state come into existence? Philosophers and scholars have given us many answers from classical antiquity up to the present. Plato asserts that the origin of the state is to be found in that fact that the people cannot provide for their own needs and each of them lacks many things. 1 According to Aristotle, “The state is the highest form of community and aims at the highest good.” 2 The influence of these philosophers is evident in Cicero’s political thought. In his De re publica , the state means the common weal ( Est igitur, inquit Africanus, res publica res populi ). 3 Demonstrating the degrees and the changes of political systems, Cicero used the word status in a close context with the terms res publica and civitas , which now meant “state” (habet statum res publica de tribus secundarium ... praestare nostrae civitatis statum ceteris civitatibus ). 4 Therefore, Roman antiquity was the starting point of the abstraction of the word status from its original meaning to ** György Szabados is director of MKI Gyula László Research Centre and Archive, Budapest and consulting historian of King Saint Stephen Museum and Gyula Siklósi Research Centre for Urban History, Székesfehérvár, Hungary. 1 Platon, Politeia – Der Staat .
