Konrad Celtis, King Matthias, and the academic movement in Hungary

Abstract

This study deals with Celtis’ practice of rewriting and recontextualizing his own poetry. His poem To the literary odality of Hungarians (Ad sodalitatem litterariam Ungarorum, Odes II.2), addressed to a Hungarian ‘coetus’ (not a ‘sodalitas’) was first published in 1492. Through a detailed analysis of the poem, I claim that this ode was not directed to an academic circle of friends in Buda, but rather to the ‘bursa Hungarorum’ at the University of Cracow. As Celtis took up teaching in Ingolstadt in the spring of 1492, he published the Epitoma, which contained his course material on rhetoric from Cracow, and contained five poems, including this poem, which he composed while still in Poland. Consequently, it cannot be regarded as a proof of the continuity of academic thought between the Neo-platonic circles of King Matthias (1485-1490) and the Vienna-centered Sodalitas Danubiana of 1497. Around 1500, to please his Hungarian aristocratic friends in the Sodalitas Danubiana, he revised the same poem in Vienna and added it to the cycle of his Odes.

Main Aspects of the Implementation of Seismic Projects

“…The accuracy of the evaluation is greatly aided by laboratory determinations of the velocities of the P and S waves performed on the core samples because this is the only way to determine the exact acoustic velocity of each rock. The advantage of ultrasonic measurements in the laboratory is that the effects of individual physical conditions (such as pressure, temperature, pore-filling) can be modeled under controlled conditions, and the disadvantage is that the core samples represent only a very small representation of subsurface formations [30]. The information obtained from laboratory tests is essential for understanding the properties of subsurface formations.…”

Expert Knowledge and Perceptions about the Ecosystem Services and Natural Values of Hungarian Fishpond Systems

“…Farming activities mainly focus on the production of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), practiced in artificial, extensive pond systems. These systems usually consist of multiple, soil-based ponds with around 30-40 hectares and between 1 and 2 m deep [35]. Some bigger fishpond systems in Hungary have more than 2000 hectares.…”

“…Together with common carp, additional fish species are also raised in polycultures, such as European catfish (Silurus glanis), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), zander (Sander lucioperca), and northern pike (Esox lucius) [36]. In 2018, Hungary had 26,500 hectares of fishponds that produced approximately 22,500 tons of fish, around 80% of which was common carp [35].…”

Determining the quality factor of sandstone using acoustic laboratory measurements

“…New petrophysical model was introduced (Dobróka and Somogyi Molnár, 2012). The new model has been used to describe both the pressure dependence of P waves (Somogyi Molnár et al, 2015) and that of S waves (Kiss, 2018). The new models were further developed for twocomponent (Somogyi Molnár et al, 2019) and multi-component (Dobróka et al, 2022) relaxation cases.…”
