Joachim és Israel Leibitzer történeti feljegyzései

Abstract

The diary of Joachim and Israel Leibitzer — beginning in the style of historical records — is partly known, from the end of the 18` hcentury, but some experts of modern Hungarian literary history suppose that the original manuscript is hidden somewhere. Actually, this "twin-work" is to be found in the archive of the Forgách family. The works of these two Lutheran pastors, father and son (both belonging to the "domidoctus-category", without university degree) gives us insight into the ecclesiastical and historical circumstances of the so-called "Szepesség", the once partly German-speaking district of Northern Hungary, now belonging to Slovakia.
