In order to present research on the history of Hungarian tertiary education
it is indispensable to clarify what we mean under the name Hungary in diffe
rent epochs and also into what chronological units the research can be divi
ded The historical Kingdom of Hungary covers the whole of the Carpathian
basin which is now shared by eight European countries For this reason we
have to be aware that Hungarian historiography treats not only modern but
also historical Hungary in our case the history of universities and academies
that once existed in this area This fact often causes confusion in Western
Europe where people are still often unaware of the many changes that have
taken place in the Central European region and therefore interpret or analy
se historical issues according to the current borders
Chronologically it is important to know that in Hungarian historiography
the Middle Ages terminate in the year marking the end of the uniied
Kingdom of Hungary which fell into different parts due to the Ottoman in
trusion and subsequently became part of both the Ottoman and Habsburg
Empire In the Eastern part was established the Principality of Transylva
nia After Hungary was reunited within the Habsburg Monarchy in the
form of a multiethnic country A third crucial borderline was the year
when as a result of the Trianon peace treaty signed with the great powers
following WWI twothird of the territory of Hungary was attached to the
then newly formed neighbouring countries
Historical sources of Hungarian university education

Ottoman Hungary the inside conlicts and independence wars sources in me
dieval and oftentimes modern archives have been seriously destroyed
