Maurice Benyovszky and His "Madagascar Protocolle" (1772-1776)
HStudll (2007)1-2, 205-238 DOI: 10.15566/HStud.21.2007.1-2.10 MAURICE BENYOVSZKY AND HIS "MADAGASCAR PROTOCOLLE" (1772-1776) VILMOS VOIGT Chair of Folklore, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest Hungary The Hungarian Baron (then Count), Móric Benyovszky (1746-1786) was one of the best known European adventurers in the years before the French Revolution. As a young soldier he participated in a Polish uprising (1769) against the Russians, was captured by them and exiled to Kamchatka, from where he fled, and after a long journey at sea (via Formosa, Canton, Madagascar and Africa) he arrived in 1772 in Paris. There he proposed to the Court the colonization of Madagascar and organized his first expedition to the island (1774-1776), which turned out to be a complete failure. However, he insisted on making a second attempt, offering the island first to the French King, then to the English, and finally to rich American merchants in Bal timore. He was sailing to Madagascar again ( 1785-1786), but was soon killed by the French soldiers there. His Memoirs and other publications about him were quickly published in French and English, as were several books in German, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Slovak, and Hungarian immortalizing him. In 2004 the Hungarian National Library published a manuscript Protocolle (originally an official report of exculpa tion to the French authorities about the first expedition). My paper describes this work, and adds some source critical remarks. Benyovszky was a typical figure of his time: hero and impostor, explorer and blind reporter of an extraordinary world. The interest in his person (not only in Hungary or Slovakia) has not flagged for over two centuries.

The Hungarian Participants in the American War of Independence
THE HUNGARIAN PARTICIPANTS IN THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE Patrik Kunec “Matej Bel University”, Banská Bystrica, Slovacia Rezumat: La Războiul de Independenţă a coloniilor engleze din America de Nord au participat câteva mii de soldaţi veniţi din diverse părţi ale Europei. În timp ce coroana britanica a beneficiat de spijinul mercenarilor germani, americanii secesionişti i-au avut de partea lor pe francezii grupaţi într-un corp special de armată. Acestora li s-au alturat voluntari de pe teritoriul Sfântului Imperiu Roman, din Suedia sau din Regatul Poloniei. Mai puţin cunoscute sunt aspectele legate de participarea unor soldaţi din Regatul Ungariei care au luptat pentru libertatea americanilor. Urmatorul articol aduce informaţii referitoare la patru luptători de origine maghiară ajunşi pe câmpul de luptă american: Maurice August Benyovszky, Baronul Francisc Seraph Benyovszky, Mihály Kováts de Fabricy şi Jean Ladislau Poleretzky. Având drept principală caracteristică spiritul de aventură, cele patru personaje sunt protagoniştii unor istorisiri incitante, cu suişuri şi coborâşuri, cu răsturnări de situaţie şi deznodăminte neprevăzute. Abstract: Thousands of soldiers coming from different parts of Europe have participated in the American War of Independence. While the British crown received support from the German mercenaries, the secessionists Americans were helped by a special unit of the French army and by other volunteers from the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden, and Poland. Less known are the issues of participation of troops from the Kingdom of Hungary who fought for American freedom. The following article brings information on the four foreigner fighters who arrived on the American battlefield: Maurice August Benyovszky, Baron Francisc Seraph Benyovszky, Mihály Kováts of Fabricy and Jean Ladislau Poleretzy.

Due Venturieri Senza Ventura in Madagascar Pierantonio Gratarol, Veneziano, E Maurycy August Beniowski, Polacco-Magiaro-Slovacco
DUE VENTURIERI SENZA VENTURA IN MADAGASCAR PIERANTONIO GRATAROL, VENEZIANO, E MAURYCY AUGUST BENIOWSKI, POLACCO-MAGIARO-SLOVACCO M. Marcella Ferraccioli, Gianfranco Giraudo* TWO ADVENTURERS WITHOUT FORTUNE IN MADAGASCAR PIERANTONIO GRATAROL, VENETIAN, AND MAURYCY AUGUST BENIOWSKI,POLISH-MAGYAR-SLOVAK Abstract Both characters are, each in their own way, well individualizable representatives of the 18th Century. Gratarol embodies the eighteenth century libertine, the one in which intellectual libertinism lives in comfortable symbiosis with the sexual one; Beniowski is one of those men who are always willing to rebel and to seek the elusive pleasure of the search for knowledge, as well as to present themselves as transnationals, especially in the art of the intrallazzo: a little Captain Cook, a little Casanova. Beniowski followed the fate that he himself had made to the most obvious of ends, death in battle; Gratarol is forced against his will to a metamorphosis from libertine to fugitive, a role he succeeds in interpreting with some success, thanks also to the knowledge accumulated in the previous phase of his life. If Beniowski’s death had assured him of posthumous glory, Gratarol’s is nothing more than an incident easily conceivable for an inexperienced traveler in inhospitable lands – from the tragic to the pathetic.

A huge semantic shift, within a few decades, from a well-circumscribed concept to a posh and polemical passepartout. In both cases, keeping these words manageable in Achtzehntes Jahrhundert digital: scholarly discourse requires serious dialogue work and translation efforts between different (and distant) communities of scholars, programmers, and digital zentraleuropäische Perspektiven designers. Such a dialogue is more likely to succeed in relatively small settings and with focused arguments—in the case of this issue, the long eighteenth century in Central Europe.

The Intriguing Life and Ignominious Death of Maurice Benyovszky
Portrait of Maurice Benyovszky, taken from the frontispiece of the 1790 edition of his Memoirs. THE INTRIGUING LIFE AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH OF MAURICE BENYOVSZKY Published in 1790, Maurice Benyovszky’s posthumous memoir was an instant sensation. A tale of exploration and adventure beginning with his daring escape from a Siberian prison and ending with his coronation as King of Madagascar, it was translated into several languages and adapted for the theatre and opera. This book explores the veracity of this memoir and, more broadly, the challenges faced by the explorers of the age and the brutality of colonisation. The self-styled Hungarian Baron Maurice Auguste Aladar Benyovszky, Counsellor to the Duke of Saxony and Colonel in the service of the Queen of Hungary, was in fact only confirmed to have been an officer in a regiment of the Polish Confederation of Bar. While he did escape from Russian captors and subsequently travel to Japan, Formosa, China and Madagascar, many of his exploits were wildly exaggerated or simply invented. Andrew Drummond reveals an alternative picture of events by looking at statements from Benyovszky’s travelling companions and sceptical officials as well as contemporary documents from the places he claimed to have visited, untangling the truth behind his stories and examining what these stories can nonetheless tell us about the era in which Benyovszky lived. Witty and engagingly written, this book is fascinating reading for anyone interested in eighteenth-century colonial history and the story of early European and Russian explorers. Andrew Drummond is based in Edinburgh, UK. He holds a degree in Modern Languages from Aberdeen University and a post-graduate degree in German Studies from King’s College, London.
