ABSTRACTS SZÍJÁRTÓ M„ ISTVÁN: HIGH DIGNITARIES IN THE 18TH CENTURY-HUNGARY The present study aims at providing a comprehensive introduction of the political elite of the 18th century Hungary: the holders of the highest offices of the country, the high dignitaries, called barones in that era. On the one hand, it summarizes the statements of the literature and on the other hand, it complements its findings with the results of more recent social-historical researches. (The study is followed by a detailed bibliography and the list of available sources.) The study deals with the narrow group of the barones regni first (the high dignitaries of the country and the court, and also with the count of Pozsony). The captain of the Hungarian noble guards joined this group in 1765. Secondly, the elaboration of the keepers of the crown and thirdly, that of the lord lieutenants follows. Lastly mention must be made of the chancellor, the president of the treasury, and the chief justice (the president of the Royal Court of Justice) due to their special position. The present study does not only survey the responsibilities and authorities of these members of the political elite of the 18th century, but also presents their social and family background and outlines the possible ways of their careers. KISS, NORBERT PÉTER: LITERARY RELICS IN THE SOMOGY COUNTY ARCHIVES Several researchers have already published studies of literary topics and source publications in the yearbooks of the Somogy County Archives. The present paper continues this tradition with the publication of three literary texts kept in the Somogy County Archives. We would like to follow this tradition in the near future as well by bringing out the handwritten volumes of poetry of Noszlopy Antal Sr. and Jr., among other things. The first text is a pastoral play by an unknown author, written for the nameday of N. The work was found among the documents left behind by Domanek Alajos, the fifth land-steward of the piarist custodiatus in Memye. The genre of the published text is pastoral, belonging to the tradition ranging from the Sicilian folk pastoral poetry, the idylls of Theocritus and the eclogues of Vergil to the 19-20tl' century eclogues operating with altered formal and content elements (e.g. works of Radnóti Miklós). The second text is a fragment of the work called The Peril of Szeged by Komjáthy Béla, also found among the group of documents mentioned above. The work is related to several popular romantic literary genres, among others the comic epic, the novel in verse and the epic poem. The work gives a parodistic, ironic picture of the members of the commissioners’ council established in the interest of the retrieval of the damage and devastation caused by the great flood of Szeged in 1879. The author himself was one of the members of the committee mentioned; his work consists of near 200 strophes. The text was not published in print, only spread in lithographic prints. Mikszáth Kálmán also spoke highly of this work. The third text found in the archival fragment of the Homonnay-Drugeth family, called A Louis Napoleon III, names Josephine de Patruban as the author or recorder. In the French language work feeding on ancient traditions the genre elements of the ode, the hymn and the panegyric are blended. The topic of the verse is the praise of Emperor Napoleon III.
