Zs. Kakuk (ed.): Hungarian Turcology, 1945–1974: A Bibliography.

Introduction

6 Following earlier examples in the arrangement of the material we have put the general turcological topics and the specific Hungarian topics under separate headings. This can be justified on practical grounds but the two ranges of subjects are in fact mutually connected by their internal historical relationships. Thus e.g. to gain information about the Bulgar-Turks, Khazars, Pechenegs, Cumanians is not only the aim of general turcology but also a specific Hungarian task. Since each item has been listed only once, connections between them have been pointed out by means of cross-references. Cross references are also made in cases where an article was published both in Hungarian and in a foreign language. Hoping that this work will be a useful contribution not only to Hungarian but also to international turcology, we have supplied the titles of the Hungarian publications with their English translations. A detailed table of contents and an index of names also assist orientation. I would like to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Research Group of Altaistic Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for their support and financial aid. I feel obliged to Edmond Schütz for his useful ideas and hints with which he has helped me in my work and to P. Golden for checking the English translation of the Hungarian entries. Budapest, 1978.
