Book Synopsis Hungary Between Two Empires 1526–1711 by : Géza Pálffy
Download or read book Hungary Between Two Empires 1526–1711 written by Géza Pálffy and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungarian defeat to the Ottoman army at the pivotal Battle of Mohács in 1526 led to the division of the Kingdom of Hungary into three parts, altering both the shape and the ethnic composition of Central Europe for centuries to come. Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires. In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. Reflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, Hungary between Two Empires 1526–1711 offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.
Book Synopsis A Divided Hungary in Europe by : Gábor Almási
Download or read book A Divided Hungary in Europe written by Gábor Almási and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite fragmentation, heterogeneity and the continuous pressure of the Ottoman Empire, early modern “divided Hungary” witnessed a surprising cultural flourishing in the sixteenth century, and maintained its common cultural identity in the seventeenth century. This could hardly have been possible without intense exchange with the rest of Europe. This three-volume series about early modern Hungary divided by Ottoman presence approaches themes of exchange of information and knowledge from two perspectives, namely, exchange through traditional channels provided by religious/educational institutions and the system of European study tours (Volume 1 – Study Tours and Intellectual-Religious Relationships), and the less regular channels and improvised networks of political diplomacy (Volume 2 – Diplomacy, Information Flow and Cultural Exchange). A by-product of this exchange of information was the changing image of early modern Hungary and Transylvania, which is presented in the third and in some aspects concluding volume of essays (Volume 3 – The Making and Uses of the Image of Hungary and Transylvania). Unlike earlier approaches to the same questions, these volumes draw an alternative map of early modern Hungary. On this map, the centre-periphery conceptions of European early modern culture are replaced by new narratives written from the perspective of historical actors, and the dominance of Western-Hungarian relationships is kept in balance due to the significance of Hungary’s direct neighbours, most importantly the Ottoman Empire.

Book Synopsis The Kingdom of Hungary and the Habsburg Monarchy in the Sixteenth Century by : Géza Pálffy
Download or read book The Kingdom of Hungary and the Habsburg Monarchy in the Sixteenth Century written by Géza Pálffy and published by East European Monographs. This book was released on 2009 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Géza Pálffy traces the complex relations between Hungary and the Habsburgs, including the integration of the country into a conglomerate central European state ruled from Vienna and Prague. Focusing on institutions and symbols of sovereignty, Pálffy demonstrates how Hungary was integrated into a larger monarchy yet at the same time preserved its independence and the power and influence of its upper estates. Her argument challenges the traditional view that early-modern Hungary resisted and rebelled against the Hapsburgs.

Book Synopsis Two Faiths, One Banner by : Ian Almond
Download or read book Two Faiths, One Banner written by Ian Almond and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in our turbulent day, we hear of a clash of civilizations, it s easy to imagine an unbridgeable chasm between the Islamic world and Christendom stretching back through time. "Two Faiths, One Banner" shows how in Europe, Muslims and Christians were often comrades-in-arms, repeatedly forming alliances to wage war against their own faiths and peoples. This bold book reveals how the idea of a Christian Europe long opposed by a Muslim non-Europe grossly misrepresents the facts of a rich, complex, and above all shared history.

Book Synopsis Europa und seine Regionen by : Andreas Bauer
Download or read book Europa und seine Regionen written by Andreas Bauer and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2007 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieses Buch wählt eine neue Perspektive auf 2000 Jahre europäische Rechtsgeschichte: Es stellt die europäischen Regionen, wie sie sich historisch herausgebildet haben, in ihrer inneren Verbundenheit vor. An der regionalen Rechtsentwicklung von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart wird deutlich, dass keine Rechtskultur nur isoliert für sich gestanden hat und dass es auf unterschiedlichsten Ebenen stets Austausch und die Übernahme juristischen Wissens gab. So beschäftigen sich die Beiträge mit der Universität Bologna als Ausgangspunkt hochmittelalterlicher Rechtskultur, mit Frankreich als Zentrum politisch orientierter Wissensvermittlung oder mit England, welches kontinentale Traditionen in die eigene regionale Rechtsentwicklung integrierte. Beiträge zum Kirchenrecht oder zur Lehre des Römischen Rechts veranschaulichen, dass die Identität Europas durch religiöse Homogenität, die Fähigkeit wissenschaftlicher Konsensbildung und eine juristisch verbürgte politische Stabilität entstanden ist. Das Buch verdeutlicht insgesamt, dass die Europäische Union als ein Rechtsraum verstanden werden kann, der auf einer breiten historischen Grundlage beruht.
Book Synopsis Revolts and Political Violence in Early Modern Imagery by : Malte Griesse
Download or read book Revolts and Political Violence in Early Modern Imagery written by Malte Griesse and published by Brill's Studies on Art, Art Hi. This book was released on 2021 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early modern period, images of revolts and violence became increasingly important tools to legitimize or contest political structures. This volume offers the first in-depth analysis of how early modern people produced and consumed violent imagery and assesses its role in memory practices, political mobilization, and the negotiation of cruelty and justice. Critically evaluating the traditional focus on Western European imagery, the case studies in this book draw on evidence from Russia, China, Hungary, Portugal, Germany, North America and other regions. The contributors highlight the distinctions among visual cultures of violence, as well as their entanglements in networks of intensive transregional communication, early globalization and European colonization. Contributors include: Monika Barget, David de Boer, Nóra G. Etényi, Fabian Fechner, Joana Fraga, Malte Griesse, Alain Hugon, Gleb Kazakov, Nancy Kollmann, Ya-Chen Ma, Galina Tirnanic, and Ramon Voges"--
Book Synopsis Learned Societies, Freemasonry, Sciences and Literature in 18th-Century Hungary by : Réka Lengyel
Download or read book Learned Societies, Freemasonry, Sciences and Literature in 18th-Century Hungary written by Réka Lengyel and published by Lengyel Réka. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present collection of primary sources, comprised of printed and manuscript materials, offers a new approach to the history of learned societies and Freemasonry in Hungary in the 18th century. Materials include academic proposals, regulations of learned societies and reading circles, letters, pamphlets as well as Masonic constitutions, rituals, orations, essays, and a sentimental novel. In addition to the Latin- and German-language documents, some Hungarian-language sources of special importance are published in English translation. The sources in the first part of the collection illustrate the growing desire and ambition among Hungarian intellectuals for establishing national literature and science, and for raising the level of general literacy among the population. Starting from the diagnosis that, compared to other European countries, Hungary was quite backward in terms of cultivating the sciences, several people emphasized the need to raise the standards of public education, while others thought that establishing learned societies or scientific academies could change the situation. The examination of the history of learned and secret societies shows that in 18th-century Hungary social culture could develop within the framework of Freemasonry. The functioning learned societies and reading circles were established at the initiative of lodge members, and a large number of the authors of the proposals were also Freemasons. The establishment of learned societies was motivated by the ideas which were also the guiding principles of the Freemasons: spreading enlightenment, promoting the well-being of the people, and supporting the sciences and the arts. The editors intended to bring to an international audience the selected materials which warrant further research and examination.

Book Synopsis The German Political Broadsheet, 1600-1700: 1616-1619 by : John Roger Paas
Download or read book The German Political Broadsheet, 1600-1700: 1616-1619 written by John Roger Paas and published by Harrassowitz. This book was released on 1985 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1660s were a time of continual warfare in Europe. Early in the decade the Ottoman Empire posed a grave threat to the West, and later competing national interests led the French, the English, and the Dutch to become embroiled in military confl ict. As people sought to keep abreast of current events, broadsheets constituted one of the most important sources of news. Reproduced in this volume are 450 sheets drawn from over 80 collections in 15 countries for the period from 1662 to 1670. The majority of this material is extremely rare, and very few of the sheets have been reproduced since the original printing in the seventeenth century. The entire edition, which now comprises 9 volumes and includes more than 3000 half-tone reproductions of broadsheets dating from 1600 to 1670, is unparalleled in its breadth and depth. It is a valuable primary resource for scholars in many fields who have an interest in Germany and/or European politics in

Book Synopsis War, State and Society in Württemberg, 1677-1793 by : Peter H. Wilson
Download or read book War, State and Society in Württemberg, 1677-1793 written by Peter H. Wilson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-03-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a radical new interpretation of the aims of the lesser German princes during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through the example of the duchy of Württemberg. Arguing that the princes' political ambitions were fundamental in shaping the internal development of their territories, the author sheds new light on the political importance of the notorious German 'soldier trade' and its role in international diplomacy. The wider social and political impact of these policies is also investigated in a comparative framework, while traditional interpretations of the dramatic struggle between duke and estates are challenged in a reassessment of the role of early modern representative institutions in German state development. The relationship of these internal political struggles to the different elements of the Holy Roman Empire is revealed, opening up new perspectives on the role of the German states within the imperial structure and revealing the empire as a flawed but functioning political system.
