Zs. Kakuk (ed.): Hungarian Turcology, 1945–1974: A Bibliography.
Introduction
INTRODUCTION The kernel of this bibliography is a product of my teaching work at the university. In 1975, J and my third-year students: Imre Baski, Ibolya Gerelyes, Zsuzsa Kovács and Annamária Marosi compiled a bibliography of the past thirty years of Hungarian turcology for a Conference of Students' Scholarly Societies. The material has increased and the principles of its arrangement have evolved since then,but its aim has not changed: the bibliography is intended to present and arrange thematicallv the output of Hungarian turcology produced in 30 years. Our bibliography includes the works, articles and reviews written by Hungarian authors and published in Hungary and elsewhere, the Hungarian and foreign appreciations and reviews of Hungarian authors and their works, as well as the articles written by foreign authors and published in Hungary. The closing date of 1974 has been observed even for the reviews of Hungarian works, although in some cases the number of such reviews increased considerably in the years that followed. It has not been easy to delimit the subject of "turcology" and keep it distinct from related disciplines, such as e.g. history, archeology and ethnography. We have decided on a narrow definition and included only works belonging to the subject of "Turkic philology", though the special problems of Hungarian turcology - such as e.g. the historical background of Turco-Hungarian contacts before the Magyar conquest, or the questions of economic history during the 16th and 17th c. Ottoman occupation of Hungary - have made us treat the limits somewhat flexibly in certain fields. Even so, this bibliography is more homogeneous in its choice of material than the earlier bibliographies of Hungarian turcology |lj. We have not included in our material the Hungarian translations of literary works. On the other hand, we have admitted the studies /introductions, commentary postscripts/ appended to such literary works.
