Budapest, __ May 2012 __________________________ Signature CEU eTD Collection v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank first and foremost Niels Gaul for his guidance and supervision, without which this thesis may never have been completed, and for saving me from myriad blunders in transcription, accentuation, and translation. I would also like to thank all those who so kindly helped me acquire source materials when articles or books were not available in libraries in Budapest, above all Melanie Bartczak, who spent a significant amount of time scanning and sending me a great number of documents. Also helpful in this regard were Niels Gaul, who lent me articles and books from his personal library; Lorenzo DiTommaso, who sent me dozens of articles and chapters; Ellen Aitken, Aaron Ricker, and Amanda Loud, who sent me scans when I was in a bind; and Phil Hart, who managed to access and send me several important volumes to which I had not been able to gain access. Finally, I thank my family for their love and support.
