Abstract

The present paper treats some factors which influenced the development of classical scholarship in Hungary in connection with both historical crossings: a) Leo Thun’s reform of public instruction, a bourgeois liberal reform pushed through by a conservative aristocrat, which was aimed at the Germanisation of Hungarian culture, but which effected the development of Hungarian scholarly life and Hungarian classical scholarship as a specialized branch of learning; b) the crossing of German and French tradition in the development of classical scholarship in Hungary.
