Abstract

The Palaeontologia Hungarica was an international palaeontological journal, published between 1921 and 1927 in Budapest, Hungary. It was edited by István Majer, assistant professor at Pázmány Péter University in Budapest, co-edited by palaeontologist Franz Nopcsa and zoologist Géza Gyula Fejérváry, both world-renowned professionals in their fields. We seek answers to the questions: 1) what endeavours created the journal and 2) what circumstances led to its closure, 3) how could a post-war, dilapidated Hungary create and maintain a world-class scientific journal, even if only for a short time. With 4 figures and 1 table.
