Abstract

Mik­lós Oláh (1493–1568) is one of the most pro­mi­nent hu­ma­nists of the 16th cent­ury. Apart from his li­ter­ary ac­ti­vity (book of let­ters, his­to­ri­cal works, and po­ems), his fame is bas­ed on his po­li­ti­cal and ecc­le­sia­s­ti­cal ca­re­er. He re­for­med the ope­ra­tions of the Hun­ga­ri­an Ro­yal Chan­cel­lery, and his pat­ron­age, book coll­ec­ti­on, and or­ga­ni­za­ti­o­nal ta­lent made him well-known far and wide. Af­ter the batt­le of Mo­hács, he left Hun­gary and spent the 1530s ye­ars in the Low Count­ri­es on the side of Qu­een Mary of Habs­burg, whe­re he groun­ded his lat­ter career. The cur­rent vo­lu­me pub­lis­hes the cri­ti­cal edi­ti­on of cor­res­pon­den­ce from the year 1534 to May 1533, when he was ap­poin­ted arch­bishop of Esz­ter­gom. Ac­cord­ing to the plans, the third, and fi­nal, vo­lu­me will be pub­lis­hed of his la­ter correspondences. This vo­lu­me will be ava­i­lab­le free of char­ge both in prin­ted and in pdf for­mat. What is more, the prin­ted vers­ion will be fol­lo­wed by an on­line vers­ion as well, and so let­ters that may po­ten­ti­ally sur­face la­ter can be ad­ded to the on­line edition.
