Research on Hungarian craft terms Research on Hungarian craft terms, including also the designation of tools used by coopers, began 178 years ago. In 1832, the Hungarian Scholarly Society decided to create a glossary of the terms and words used in various crafts, a task aided by the lists compiled by various craft guilds within a brief period of time. In a letter addressed to Lajos Batthyány, president of the Hungarian Guild Association, the society explained the delay of the publication of the dictionary of crafts terms owing to the shortcomings of the collecting work. The collection can now be found in the Manuscript Collection of the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Linguistic Section, no. 4r. 101). Plans to publish the Academy's dictionary of craft terms were still entertained in 1857. One major milestone in the compilation of the dictionary was marked by János Frecskay's intensive two years long collecting activity begun in 1883. The dictionary containing the description of fifty crafts and a German-Hungarian dictionary were eventually published in 1912. Research on the cooper's craft too began with the earliest collection of craft terms between 1832 and 1835. Frecsay's study, "Kádárság" [Cooperage] can be regarded as the first comprehensive description of this craft. The answers to a questionnaire sent out to coopers as part of a national survey indicated that the dictionary written in part with the intention of modernising the language was rarely used in the workshops. The training of apprentices in this craft was based on the design patterns of a book published in Bremen in 1904 and on the manual written by Dezső Klinger and Kamii Erdős, published in Pécs in 1938. There has been a recent upswing in research and studies on cooperage: several PhD theses have been devoted to the ethnography of the cooper's craft in Hungary, the techniques of making wooden staved vessels, the typology of the tools used in cooperage and the associated iconography.
