7-19Views:107In the summer of 2020, the Album Amicorum of the late Reverend Cornelis Burt Andriessen (1758–1845) came into the possession of the so-called “Academie van Franeker” Foundation. It is kept nowadays in the Library of the Foundation at Franeker. The Album contains six contributions written by Hungarian Peregrini during their stay at Franeker University, 1781–1782, where they met Andriessen as a student at the Faculty of Theology.

Het dagboek en alba amicorum van Sámuel Cseh-Szombathy
27-46Views:58In this paper I have analysed the itinerary of Sámuel Cseh-Szombathy, a former student
of the Reformed College of Debrecen. After having finished his studies in Göttingen and
Vienna, he started with a journey in 1790 through Southern German cities, the Dutch
Republic, England and finally France. During his journey he wrote an itinerary where he
made a record of his costs and what he as a medical doctor found interesting: hospitals,
madhouses, natural history collections and of course the most important medical
personalities of his time. My main questions are: How unique is this itinerary and how
well does it fit in the Hungarian tradition of itineraries of the Early Modern Time? -
“Netherlandicas” – Calvinist Relics from the 17th Century Holland
121-150Views:58In my paper I analysed what kind of images of Holland might have occurred in the heads of the Hungarian Calvinist visitors in 17th century. I established seven types of visitors to demonstrate the choices of Hungarian Calvinists as for what objects i.e. relics they brought home or what objects they recalled in their memoirs when they called back their experiences in Holland. It contains 8 types of “netherlandicas”, 8 several images of Holland which can also be demonstrated the image the Hungarian travellers had of Holland when they started out. In their memoirs also figured an experience of Holland, and these objects (i. e. a statue, a book) recalled how Holland had been seen by these Hungarian Students, Pastors and Diplomats. At the beginning of the examined period the Hungarian students usually stayed one or two weeks or months in Holland in the course of their journey through Europe. Later on they spent some terms there and in the second third of the century some students spent long years in Holland. And in that period many evidences were left behind (travel diaries, album amicorum, editions, possessor-entries, letters, memoirs on the life and sights in Holland).
