Nicolaus Olahus: Epistulae. Pars Ⅰ. 1523–1533

Olahus, Nic­o­laus. Epis­tu­lae: 1523–1533. Edi­dit, int­ro­du­xit et com­men­ta­ri­is inst­ru­xit Emő­ke Rita Szi­lá­gyi. 1. Bib­li­ot­he­ca Scrip­to­rum Me­dii Re­cen­tis­que Ævo­rum. Se­ri­es Nova 19. Bu­da­pest: re­ci­ti, 2018.

Mik­lós Oláh (1493–1568) is one of the most pro­mi­nent hu­ma­nists of the 16th cent­ury. Apart from his li­ter­ary ac­ti­vity (book of let­ters, his­to­ri­cal works, and po­ems), his fame is bas­ed on his po­li­ti­cal and ecc­le­sia­s­ti­cal ca­re­er. He re­for­med the ope­ra­tions of the Hun­ga­ri­an Ro­yal Chan­cel­lery, and his pat­ron­age, book coll­ec­ti­on, and or­ga­ni­za­ti­o­nal ta­lent made him well-known far and wide. Af­ter the batt­le of Mo­hács, he left Hun­gary and spent the 1530s ye­ars in the Net­her­lands on the side of Qu­een Mary of Habs­burg, whe­re he groun­ded his lat­ter ca­re­er. The cur­rent vo­lu­me is pub­lish­ing the cri­ti­cal edi­ti­on of his early cor­res­pon­den­ce: from the be­g­in­ning to the end of 1533 when he had al­re­ady fit­ted to the life in Brus­sels. Ac­cord­ing to the plans, two ot­her vo­lumes will be pub­lis­hed of his la­ter cor­res­pon­den­ces. This vo­lu­me will be ava­i­lab­le free of char­ge both in prin­ted and in pdf for­mat. What is more, the prin­ted vers­ion will be fol­lo­wed by an on­line vers­ion as well, and so let­ters that may po­ten­ti­ally sur­face la­ter can be ad­ded to the on­line edi­ti­on.
