It takes approximately 1,060 lives in the Republic of Croatia each year. We retro- spectively reviewed all cases referred to in the Registrar office and Police Department at Osijek County from 1986 to 2000. The cases of suicide totaled 1,017. All of the cases were analyzed as to age, gender, marital status, occupation, place and time of suicide and method of suicide. The suicide rate for the entire population of the County averaged 20.5/100,000 inhabitants per annum. The age of the suicides ranged from 15 to 92. The male to female ratio was 2.1:1. The highest suicide incidence was among the age groups from 55 to 64 (19.27%), followed by age group from 45 to 54 (16.12 %). The lowest sui- cide incidence was among the age group <19 (3.4%). The incidence in the group 85> years was also low (2.06%). The suicide was frequent among people who live alone: sin- gle, widowed, divorced (47.29%). Eighty percent of victims were found in surroundings familiar to them. These included various premises of their residences.

  • Dejan Radičević, Perica Špehar Some Remarks on Hungarian Conquest Period Finds
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. L, 2015 PL ISSN 0001-5229 Dejan RaDičević, PeRica ŠPehaR SOME REMARKS ON HUNGARIAN CONQUEST PERIOD FINDS IN VOJVODINA ABSTRACT D. Radičević, P. Špehar 2015. Some remarks on Hungarian Conquest Period Finds in Vojvodina, AAC 50: 137–162. The last reviews of sites and finds dated to the 10th and 11th centuries on the territory of modern Vojvodina were made quarter of century ago. Development of the methodology of archaeological investigations, re-examination of old and appearance of new sites and finds, as well as the ongo- ing evaluation of the results of archaeologically explored necropolis in Batajnica, all suggested the necessity for a work dedicated to the problem of colonization of Hungarians as well as to the analyses of the phenomena typical for that period in Serbian part of Banat, Bačka and Srem. K e y w o r d s: Hungarian Conquest Period; Vojvodina; Batajnica; soil inhabitation; necropolis; warrior graves; horseman graves Received: 13.04.2015; Revised: 29.05.2015; Revised: 17.08.2015; Revised: 31.08.2015; Accepted: 10.11.2015 INTRODUCTION In Serbian archaeology insufficient attention is dedicated to the problem of inhabitation of Hungarians as well as to the research of ancient Hungarian material culture1. The reason lies in the fact that the territory of modern Vojvodina, in the time of more intense archaeological explorations of sites dated to the discussed period, was part of the Habsburg Monarchy. Archaeological material was sent mostly to the museums in Szeged or Budapest, so it became primarily the subject of interest of Hungarian specialists.

  • The Gesta Hungarorum of Anonymus, the Anonymous Notary of King Béla
    1 THE GESTA HUNGARORUM OF ANONYMUS, THE ANONYMOUS NOTARY OF KING BÉLA A TRANSLATION by Martyn Rady Introduction The Gesta Hungarorum of the Anonymous Notary of King Béla is the oldest extant chronicle of the history of the Hungarians. It remains ‘the most famous, the most obscure, the most exasperating and most misleading of all the early Hungarian texts.’1 Purporting to be an account of the background, circumstances and immediate aftermath of the Hungarian conquest of Pannonia in the late ninth century, it was most probably composed in the early years of the thirteenth century by a chancellery clerk who had formerly been in the service of King Béla III of Hungary (1172-1196). The extant version, which survives in a late thirteenth century copy, is apparently incomplete.2 The sole MS, consisting of 24 folios, was first noted in the library of Schloss Ambras, outside Innsbruck, in the seventeenth century, from where it was moved to Vienna in 1665, and much later, in 1928, to Budapest.3 Although details of the MS were included in two printed seventeenth-century catalogues of the imperial library, its text was not published until 1746.4 Between then and the end of the nineteenth century, the MS was re-published more than a dozen times.5 A scholarly edition, with critical annotation, was first published by Gyula Pauler and László Fejérpataky in 1900,6 and a revised edition by Emil Jakubovich and Dezső Pais in the first volume of Imre Szentpétery’s Scriptores Rerum Hungaricarum (2 vols, 2 Budapest, 1937; hereafter, SRH).7 The Latin text has been translated several times into Hungarian, most notably by Pais,8 as well as into Romanian and German.9 What follows is the first rendering of the Latin text into English.
