through the mediation of the royal building organizations.

In the decades around 1500, an entirely different style prevailed in the eastern regions of the country’. The church in Farkas street, Kolozsvár (Cluj, Rumania) is a similarly important monument of this style as the Visegrád palace is for the previous one. Relating to it a charter from 1490 survived, in which Matthias commissions the count in charge of salt mining and sale (the salt chamber) with the financial direction of the construction. The salt chamber was the local organization of the treasury, thus, in practice, we are dealing with another construction financed by the royal treasury’. Interestingly, the architectural analogies of the building can be found in other important centres of the salt chamber (Dominican friary, Kolozsvár; parish church, Otorda /Turda, Rumania/; parish church, Dés /Dej, Rumania/; Franciscan friary in Lower Town, Szeged). This style is a Late Gothic architectural trend of characteristically Saxon origin, which spread along the trade route that connected the Black Sea with the Baltic region via Transylvania, Little Poland, Silesia, and Saxony. Between the 1490s -1520s buildings of this style can be found in great number in the Saxon areas of Transylvania as well, but there are also some random examples in places at a great distance, in Buda (palace, St. Nicholas’ church), Pest (parish church), Székesfehérvár (a residential building of unknown function), and even Siklós (castle chapel). In all likelihood, these buildings have been influenced by royal constructions.

These two regional Late Gothic styles own their relatively wide influence to the royal organizations in charge of finances. However, there were other stylistic variants besides these two, even at royal constructions. A case in point is the collegiate church of Our Lady in Székesfehérvár, whose construction the king financed through the treasury, yet no sign implies the treasury's activity as actual executive during the building activity. The stylistic characteristics of this building show analogies with the South German region. Another related monument, with South German analogies, is the choir of the Eger cathedral, whose commissioner was Orbán Nagylucsei, Bishop of Eger, and at the same time, royal treasurer.

Construcţii regale din ultima perioadă de domnie a lui Matei Corvin şi tendinţele stilului gotic târziu in Ungaria (rezumat)

Kubinyi András a relevat în mai multe studii fundamentale istoria a două instituţii economice esenţiale ale regatului maghiar din timpul lui Matei Corvin şi cel al lagellonilor: cel reprezentat de comes curialis din Buda, având sarcina de a administra domeniile ce asigurau aprovizionarea curţii regale, şi cel de vistier al statului, ce administra veniturile statului. Aceste cercetări au o deosebita importanţa şi pentru istoria artei, deoarece au elucidat anumite probleme legate de istoricul construcţiilor regale.
