A Miskolci Herman Ottó Múzeum Közleményei 7. (Miskolc, 1966)

CONTENTS This copy gives an account of the work and life of the great Hungarian scientist, Ottó Herman publishing a photo hitherto unknown. In the field of archeology our treatise deals with the axes of the bronze-age and sums up the important finds. Then the Aldhelmus-fragment discovered in one of our scientific libraries is made known. The discovery of th;s codex-fragment is an event in our scientific life. The fragment was used by the binder to fasten the cover of the book. _ We publish three studies in the topography of Miskolc based on original research-work. One of them- raises problems considering the Nova Civitas developed in the XV. century and built by the hospes-dwellers. The second is about the statue of Louis Kossuth in Miskolc erected first in the Austro

—Hungarian Monarchy. The third shows the latent architectural designs of the Fáy-house which survive'd in the Baroque period and was pulled down early this century. The fortress of .Szendrő played an important role in the history of our country. This treatise discloses a number of new data. Our next article describes-the permanent archeological. etnographical and historical exhibition in the-Museum with four photos of the exhibition. Two etnographical papers deal with the relics of^ Miskolc and Sajóvelezd. In the first we get aquain-'~ ted with the guildchest of the tanners and cobblers; in the feecond with- the making of the willow-horn' carved by sheperds.
