    The present study examines the phase of Sándor Eckhardt’s career as a historian associated with
    the journal Minerva during the first half of the 1920s. Throughout this period, Eckhardt primarily
    worked as a member of the Minerva Society and as a contributor to the journal. The aim of this
    paper is to interpret the theoretical writings published there within the narrower context of the
    journal as well as within the broader framework of European historiography. Special attention is
    given to studies on the Enlightenment and the ideas of the French Revolution, as well as to texts
    related to György Bessenyei that, although not published in Minerva, fit organically into the contemporary
    discourse on the Enlightenment.

    Since Bihar County's archival material preserved from the early 18th century therefore it is a real treasure for local history researchers. Its old pages are reporting about the history of the county and several settlements but also about significant, important, and sometimes simply interesting events. An example of the latter are the second exhumation protocol minutes of György Bessenyei, "the hermit of Bihar", who was one of the most dominant personalities of the Enlightenment. The document was lurking for decades and the coffin spike right next to it was also long-forgotten. I present the minutes by the occasion of the poet's 270th birth anniversary as a first stage of an ongoing research.
