The aim of this book is to present the history and activity of the Hospi-tallers in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary (c.1150–1543) based on thorough research of primary sources both kept in Hungary and abroad.

The time limits of the volume are marked by a fundamentally short historical period, the two decades of the half-century history of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, when the economic catch-up of Transylvania and the clarification of the presence of Hungarian culture were intertwined in many cases. 

Szabolcs László, research fellow at the Institute of History, HUN-REN RCH participated in the conference entitled Dis-/Сonnecting the World: Subjectivities, Networks and Transcultural Encounters across Cold War Boundaries, organized at Bielefeld University on October 5-6.
