The first comprehensive study on the influence of Latin classical texts and traditions in medieval Hungary based on philological and historical analysis of eleventh century sources. The author proves that the Latin classics had a stronger impact on the formation of Latin literacy in medieval Hungary than it has been acknowledges before. The four chapters of the book (The Cathedral School, The Admonitions of King Saint Stephen of Hungary, The Deliberato of Bishop Saint Gerard of Csanad, The Monastic School) provide important contributions to the philological study of Medieval Latin and the classical tradition in medieval Central Europe.
Dr. Elod Nemerkényi is a graduate of Classics, Medieval Studies, and History. Specializing in Medieval Latin and the classical tradition in the Middle Ages, he currently holds a postdoctoral teaching position in Classical Latin and Medieval Latin at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest.
