  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.

  Late dr. Elek Tóth lived in Hajdúböszörmény, serving the citizens as a GP. We hereby present a part of a diary he wrote. He had been preparing for a military career, but didn’t succeed, so he graduated from the Agricultural Academy of Debrecen. During the 1956 Revolution, he entered the National Guard and participated in its work all the way through. He was part of the negotiating delegation sent to the MÁV Járműjavító (Vehicle Repairs of the Hungarian State Railways). Together with four peers, he did not capitulate after the Soviet intervention, but hit the road towards Miskolc at 19:20 pm, on 4th November 1956. They wanted to join the resistant teams there. In his present reminiscence, he reports in detail about the days of the Revolution, and his role in it.
