Rezümék (angol, német)

political-entertaining paper, titled Freie Blätter. In this paper he continues to publish his political ideas, but he was not involved in direct daily politics. He criticised the excesses of the revolution in a satyrical style, and expressed his disappointment, seeing that the enthusiasm of the revolutionaries diminished. Glassbrenner reached the peak of his career in 1848. After the revolution his effect became less powerful. FERENC NAGY The Name of Ibrány of the Rétköz Area in Historic Sources The settlement name Ibrány is derived from the Muslim name Ibrahim (Abraham). The first charter containing the name is dated 1280. The charter, issued by Leslie IV, however, does not refer to the Ibrány in the Rétköz region of Szabolcs County, but to the settlement near Vukovar, in the old County of Valkó (today Croatia). The settlement was destroyed in the 16th century. The last time its name appeared in historic documents was in 1492. The name of Ibrány in the Rétköz first appeared in 1310, when it was mentioned as the domain of Lukács and Gergely of the Pec family. Earlier, 12th-century references to the neighbouring settlements, for example Csúr, make it easier to identify the data related to Ibrány in the Rétköz. Another excellent source of identification is a charter issued in 1332, containing a detailed description of the lands belonging to the community of Ibrány, with many place names that are still in use. ÉVA K. MECSEI The Financial Resources of the People of Nyíregyháza in the Early 19th Century (How they Raised the Manumission Compensation Paid to the Landlords) Nyíregyháza, deserted by the end of the Turkish occupation, was resettled only in 1753-54. The new inhabitants made a good use of the special legal and financial privileges granted to the new settlers. In only half a century they embarked on a major venture: raising the funds necessary to pay the manumission compensation to their landlords, in order to become free burghers. A large number of executives and officials were elected to manage the expanding economy and increasing population of Nyíregyháza. The self-government first paid the manumission compensation to the Dessewffy family in 1803. The sum was 320,000 Rhenish Florins. In 1824 the Károlyi family received 730,000 Viennese Florins, and thus the community was finally free of the medieval supervision of landlords. The present paper aims at examining the general financial situation of the townspeople in 1824, and the composition of the manumission compensation paid out by the community. The self-government of Nyíregyháza primarily relied on three resources when striving to raise the money for the manumission compensation. The first and most important was the special tax levied on the population for this special purpose, in proportion to the financial situation of the families. Many families were only able to pay this in installments, over a period of several years. It was only possible for the town to obtain larger sums of money in the form of bank loans. The credibility of the community is well exemplified by the fact that in 1803 they obtained Fl 160,000, in 1808 Fl 186,276, and a total of more than Fl 550,000
