  From 1935 onwards, students from the Netherlands regularly visited the Debrecen Summer University. Imre Tarnóczy, a member of the board of the International Students' Club in Utrecht, played an important role in recruiting the students and organizing the trip. Tarnóczy, and later Elly Hoekstra, also took the Hungarian language proficiency exam at the Summer University. Some of the students visiting here came from the Dutch Asian colonies. The students attended language and country studies courses, went to the open-air bath, and visited the Hortobágy and several cities in Northeastern Hungary. The local and national press reported on their stay, and interviews and photos were taken with them. The Dutch did not come to Debrecen during World War II, and we only see them at the Summer University in 1947 again.F

  The Study of the Arabic language on the European Universities. The study of oriental languages, among them that of the Arabic is among the oldest branches of the humanistic scholarship. In the beginning, one can see sporadic individual works, later well-organised activities that take us to the Iberian Peninsula, to Salerno and Paris. In addition to the Koran, philosophical, mathematical and astronomical works were translated from Arabic into Latin in the first half of the second millennium. Later, in the Renaissance, Italia and the Papal State became the centre of the Arabic scholarship. The main ambition of the age was to prepare the texts of the polyglot Bibles, and to investigate the Greek and Arabic medical works. In the following epoch, Leyden and Netherlands emerged from the range of the European universities. Here the aim of the Arabic scholarship was to support the international trade. The Arabic philology on modern sense have been created in Paris by S. de Sacy, who is the common ancestor of all European Arabists. In Hungary, we are attached to him by K. Czeglédy, de Goeje and his Dutch masters.

  There were close ties between Hungarian Protestants and the universities in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces (now the Netherlands), particularly with the Academie van Vrieslandt in the Frisian town of Franeker. By chance, a shipment of books intercepted by customs in Olomouc has been preserved, which sheds more light on the theological ideas and contacts of István Szathmári Paksi (1719–1791), who studied in Franeker in 1743 and was bishop of the church in Debrecen from 1785 to 1790.
