We are happy to announce that the volume Medieval East Central Europe in a Comparative Perspective, edited by our professors, Gerhard Jaritz and Katalin Szende, is now at at Routledge.
Medieval East Central Europein a Comparative Perspective draws together the new perspectives concerning the relevance of East Central Europe for current historiography by placing the region in various comparative contexts. The chapters compare conditions within East Central Europe, as well as between East Central Europe, the rest of the continent, and beyond.
We are happy to announce that the volume that the papers presented at the Conference of Young Medieval Archaeologists has been published, with contributors from our department: students Mária Vargha (PhD candidate in the Medieval Studies Program), Nóra Ujhelyi (MA student in the Cultural Heritage Program) and Tünde Komori (MA student in the Medieval Studies Program), as well as our faculty member Balázs Nagy. The volume was published by the St Stephen Museum in Székesfehérvár.
Our PhD student, Mária Vargha has her book, "Hoards, Grave Goods, Jewellery - Objects in hoards and in burial contexts during the Mongol invasion of Central-Eastern Europe" published at Archaeolingua and Archaeopress.
Our alumna, Catherine Keene has her book "Saint Margaret, Queen of the Scots - A life in Perspective" published at Palgrave. The book is based on her PhD dissertation she defended at our department.
Margaret, saint and 11th-century Queen of the Scots, remains an often-cited yet little-understood historical figure. Keene's analysis of sources in terms of both time and place – including her Life of Saint Margaret , translated for the first time – allows for an informed understanding of the forces that shaped this captivating woman.
Our alumna, Dóra Bobory, has her book "The Sword and the Crucible. Count Boldizsár Batthyány and Natural Philosophy in Sixteenth-Century Hungary" published at Cambridge Scholars. The book is based on her PhD thesis she defended at our department.
