Edit Madas is a member of the Fragmenta Codicum Research Team and the director of the Res Libraria Hungariae Research Team of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and National Széchényi Library, an internationally renowned expert of codicology, paleography, medieval Latin and Hungarian philology, classical tradition, liturgy, hagiography, book and library history, and Hungarian language and literature. Apart from this rich research activity, she has been participating for thirty years in higher education with lectures, seminars and special courses for the students of Latin, Hungarian, Library and Church music at ELTE University, Eötvös Collegium, Pázmány Péter Catholic University and Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. Edit Madas frequently serves as a supervisor for theses and dissertations, and provides expert counseling. That is why so many specialists of these fields who started their career with her contribution, consider her their master. Our present volume is a collection of essays of honor written by some of the disciples who belong to the generation under 40. These young researchers have worked with Madas in the recent past, and now wish to give a present to the Celebrated – Magistrae Discipuli.

The collection was edited by Előd Nemerkényi.

Booklets of Hungarian Book Review and MOKKA-R Association

For centuries, books were the only means of passing on cultural values, so the history of books is related to all the areas of cultural history. No wonder that a number of new institutions for presenting book culture history are currently being set up. As one of Europe’s oldest book history periodicals, Hungarian Book Review cannot assume the publication of all the writings on book history in Hungary, it has joined MOKKA-R (the old books section of Hungarian National Joint Catalogue Association), an entity founded in 1994 to coordinate the elaboration of old books. Our series of booklets presents primarily the lectures held at the MOKKA-R department sessions, but also gives room for works on book history with larger extent than publishable in Hungarian Book Review.

The publishers of the series are NSZL, the Institute for Literary Studies of the Hungarian Academy of Science, and MOKKA-R Association.
