    Ministers of Justice in Hungary during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs|Beiträge zur Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs Band 2 / 2020|

    No full text
    The present paper provides information about the Ministers of Justice in the period of the so‐called „bourgeois age” when the Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Realm established a special connection of states commonly known as the Austro‐Hungarian Monarchy. The matters of jurisdiction and judicature were not in the scope of authority of the common organs, therefore the Ministers of Justice were members of the national governments on both sides. The author summarizes and evaluates the lives and works of the most important Hungarian ministers in minibiographies as well as the professional relationship between those gentlemen who had the same political and professional roots

    The distribution of powers in the Swiss Confederation has a long tradition dating back to the time before 1798 but was also influenced by American constitutional law.

    On the Antichambre carrée and the Sed-festival: Re-examining the issue. Ägypten und Levante|Ägypten und Levante XXXI 31|

    The present paper deals with the interpretation of the antichambre carrée, the room that constitutes a typical component of the ‘standard’ pyramid temples of the Old Kingdom (from Sahura onwards) and Middle Kingdom. The paper’s main scope is to question the broadly accepted theory on the meaning of the room’s decoration, namely that it evokes the sed-festival, an act of regeneration of the king’s reign. For this purpose, the thorough examination of the antichambre carrée’s decorative layout – assessing all known examples, with the focus not only on figural representations but also on the text – is combined with data obtained from related sources, including the Djoser shrine court within his step-pyramid complex, the Palermo Stone, the depictions of the sedfestival in Niuserra’s sun temple at Abu Ghurab and, finally, the ‘birth cycle’ of Hatshepsut’s temple at Deir el-Bahari. The major conclusion emerging from this comparison is that while the main message of the antichambre carrée is indeed the manifestation of the king’s rule over two parts of the country, the ritual acts on display could have taken place in royal ceremonies other than the sed-festival, the prime candidate being the ‘Appearance of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt’, an event that seems to have commemorated the act of coronation
