SUMMARIES Terézia KERNY: The Premonstratensian church and convent at Zsámbék. An exhibition in the Hall of the Hungarian Inspectorate of Historical Monuments The archaeological survey of the territory where the ruins of the former Premonstratensian church and convent stand, have been directed by the archaeologist Ilona Walter since 1986, and were finished in 1991. In the same year János Sedlmayer completed his plans for the conservation of the ruins, and the survey of architectural fragments started, too. All this activity justifies the idea of an exhibition of the results. There were on display archaeological finds - among them most interesting were probably the collection of 17th century votive coins -, charts explaining theorigin, anthropological-, and bloodgroup characteristics of the excavated corpses. In the second block of the exhibition the visitor was acquainted with the reconstruction drawings- and plans, while in the third one architectural fragments could be seen. Archive photographs informed on previous reconstructi cms of the building. Someof them demonstrated the former Zichy castle, the archaeological investigation of which has become an ever urging task. There is a rich collection of written evidence concerning this building in the Hungarian State Archives and some of its original furnishing is also known. Itisregrettable that only a very restricted number of the publications dealing with the history of the settlement and the church were on display, though these would have well demonstrated the history of the research of the former Premonstratensian (later the Order of St. Paul) church. It is likewise unfortunate that no catalogue, not even a leaflet was accompanying the exhibition. Despite these shortcomings it is very welcome that, unlike the general practice in our country, in the case of Zsámbék specialists and the wider publicwaspromptly informed about the latestresults of thescientific investigations of a a monument of primary significance. Terézia BUOCZ: István Járdányi Paulovics, 1892-1952 This year, thearchaeology professor, István Járdányi Paulovics would have been 100 years old

. To commemorate the anniversary of his birth, the Sa varia Museum in Szombathely has organized an exhibition, presenting his life and his work (concept and organization by Terézia Buocz). Having completed hisstudies at the uni versity, Járdányi Paulovics became custos of the Collection of Coins and Antiquities in the Hungarian National Museum in 1914, and later, from 1926 onwards, the directing custos of the newly créa ted Departmentof Archaeology. Assuch, he together with Nándor Fettich and Ferenc Tompa, participated in the re - organization of the permanent archaeological exhibition in the Hungarian National Museum, then called Public Museum of Hungarian History, being basically responsible for the Roman block. From 1938 on, he lectured on Ancient History and the Classics at the University of Pécs and Debrecen. As an archaeologist, he and Lajos Nagy ini tíated in Hungary the systema tic study of the Roman limes, defining the limits of the Roman empire between present-day Pozsony (Bratislava, Slovakia) and Győr and directed Roman excavations in Szőny, Esztergom, Nógrádverőce, Dunabogdány, and most significant of all, in Dunapentele. The Romkert (an open air museum of Roman finds, opened in 1943) in Szombathely presents the results of his excavations of Sa varia, the Roman settlement, over which the present town has developed. The big mosaic, fragments of Roman country roads an the medievel castle were all disclosed in the course of these works. The Lapidarium of Roman stone fragments in the Savaria Museum at Szombathely stands today as was arranged by István Járdányi Paulovics. He also made a list of the Historical Monuments in the County of Vas. His topographic and epigraphic studies covered aspects of the local industry and art in Pannónia and he also paid attention to the eastern syncretistic cults as well as to the relics of early Christianity in the region.
