Arpadiana - a book series about Árpád era in Hungary

The Kingdom of Hungary in the Árpád era does not take its place in the historical memory as it should deserve. Yet a deeper knowledge of this bright period in the Hungarian history could be an important element of a modern European and Hungarian identity. The Hungarian government wished to facilitate this by adopting the regulation 1832/2013. (XI. 15.) on the Árpád Dynasty Program and related development sub-programs (2013–2038). An Operational Board was set up to elaborate the project, led by Director General of the Research Centre for the Humanities, Pál Fodor. The Board, with the involvement of the leading researchers of the period, developed the Árpád Dynasty Program within a few months, the implementation of which started in 2018.
The program focuses on the preservation, presentation and development of the national memorial site in Székesfehérvár, but it also provides intense support for historical, philological, archaeological, archaeogenetic, etc. research, which enables a more thorough knowledge and presentation of the Árpáds – and the Árpád era in a broader sense. To communicate the results to an international audience, a new English-language series entitled Arpadiana was launched last year by the Research Centre for the Humanities (editors: Pál Fodor and Attila Zsoldos). This article presents the first four volumes published so far.

The RCH Institute for Musicology commemorates the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth anniversary with an international conference with invited scholars on the 4th of December, 2020, from 11 o'clock. The focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on the Beethoven reception in Central and East-Central Europe both from a historical perspective and terms of reception theory. The papers explore the history of the Beethoven cult’s formulation on the level of everyday musical practice, and examine the connections between certain musical centers, prominent institutions and individuals in constructing and cultivating Beethoven’s image both as a person and a composer, and in contextualizing his works.
