Hungarian swords and references query

[Victrix]

I found this website in English with bits and pieces on Hungarian history as well as arms & armour: https://www.hungarianottomanwars.com/. It has a local flavour with a lot of info not previously known to me. Seems Tokapi Museum is a must if visiting Istanbul. There’s a wealth of fascinating history in Eastern Europe, which was not encouraged during communist times, but now increasingly being re-discovered locally and shared internationally. It’s like missing pieces of puzzle that contribute to seeing the whole picture.

As Hungaqry has been a long time part of the Habsburg monarchy the following title might be of interest too. Jirí Protiva, Palase habsburske monarchie, hardcover 193 pages, ISBN 978-80-86783 0-37-6, Hungarian text, at the end of the book desriptions of all pieces in German language. It contents 120 colour prints of swords (pallaschs) of the Habsburg army between 1679 and 1825. For those interested in this kind of arms this book is very commendable.

Thank you so very much Udo!!
This looks like a most useful reference and great photos. I know what is meant by many of these publications only in the languages where published, but many have taken to including English sub captions and often summary text.

The language here is either Czech or Slovak. I can understand the composition of the sentences , and which words are verbs, nouns, genders etc, but just barely the meaning. I remember when this book came out. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi Jim,

I have this book by Lugosi and Temesvary, found in a charity bookstore last year. It is exclusively in Hungarian which makes it pretty impenetrable but has a great many photos and detailed captions which can be typed into Google Translate.

I will take a look and see if I can see any photo or reference to this Transylvanian Knot.

Does anyone know the correct term in Hungarian so I can scan the text for it?

Regards
Jerry

No help regarding the translation from one of the most unique of many European tongues, Hungarian, but a quick comment on the KARDOK book. The photos alone are enough enticement for purchasing it. It's a rather uncommon title, and is getting more difficult to find, at least in the English language online bookstores.
