A Szapolyaiak erdélyi ága - a Mikeszászai Horvát család
Get PDFThe unknown and mysterious origins of the later royal family, the Szapolyais led the author of this paper to gather every piece of information relating to the different branches of the Szapolyais. A member of them, Paul Horvát (i. e. Croatian) of Szapolya (former Pozsega County, Hungary, present day Zapolje, Croatia) settled down in Transylvania in the 1470s. In the beginning of the paper the author sets out that the Horvát families of Vingárt (Vingard, Romania) and Ádámos (Adamus, Romania), on the contrary to the former opinion of scholar literature, were not relatives of Paul. This Paul Horvát of Szapolya - later of Szeben (Sibiu, Romania) and of Mikeszásza (Micásasa, Romania) - at first appeared in the Transylvanian sources in 1473 as a castellan of Nicholas Csupor voevode of Transsilvania in Gernyeszeg (Gome^ti, Romania). He married the widow of a rich merchant of Szeben, whereupon he became the richest burgher of the important Saxon town. Between 1479 and 1487 he was the castellan in Bálványos (Unguras, Romania) in the service of John Filipec bishop of Várad and chancellor. In the 1470s and 1480s, as a rich creditor, he acquired several pieces of land in Fehér, Küküllő and Doboka Counties. The paper demonstrates the details of the two most important acquisitions, the Mikeszásza estate (Küküllő County), where Paul built a fortified house, too, and Szentmargita (Belső-Szolnok County, Sánmárghita, Romania). The author shortly demonstrates the history of the family after the death of Paul (1496/97). His adopted son, Paul Remser or Horvát, as a rich burgher of Szeben, became mayor of the Saxon town in 1506-1507. One of his own six sons, Michael was appointed as count {ispán) of Küküllő County in 1513, then in 1515 he was the royal judge of the Saxon Seat of Újegyház (Nocrich, Romania). In the lack of sources, the author has not managed to make clear the family's precise kinship with the royal branch, although a far connection seems to be likely. It is not impossible that John of Szapolya, voevode of Transylvania (1510-1526), later King John I of Hungary (1526-1540) was aware of his far connection with the Horváts of Mikeszásza. It is also a question, whether this knowledge played a role in his decision to appoint Michael Horvát as his count of Küküllő County. The paper includes the family tree of the Horváts
Egy morva "herceg" és egy Árpád-házi hercegnő leszármazottai : (a Gyánúr-fiak eredete és rövid története)
Get PDFA charter from 1424 mentions that King Andrew II of Hungary (1205- 1235) donated two villages in county Nitra to Merkúr of Moravia and married him to his relative, Margaret. It also states that the members of Koloni and Széki families were the descendants of Merkur. In áccordance with other sources Merkur seems to be identical to Mercurius banus of Slavonia, comes of Somogy (1205-1206), then Pressburg (1206), thence it follows that the unknown charter could be dated to cca. 1205. The author suggests that Margaret could be the aunt of King Andrew, daughter of King Géza II (1141-1162). This new piece of information proves one of the statements of Simon Kézai's Chronicle, i. e. that Mérk of Csákány and his brothers - the grandsons of Merkur - were the relatives of King Béla IV (1235-1270) and were offspring of Moravian dukes (actually barons). The author shortly examines the history of the descendants of Merkur and Margaret, the Csákányi, Rovi, Koloni and Széki families, until the extinction of their male lines in the first decades of the 15th century. These families together were referred to as Janur (Gyánúr) kindred by scholarship so far, from the name of their first known ancestor, Janur, who seems to have been the son of Merkur and Margaret
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Péter püspök és rokonsága : (az első Szapolyaiak)
Get PDFThe study deals with the origin and family relations of Peter, bishop of Bosnia (1356-1376), later Győr (1376-1377) and Veszprém (1377-1378), who played an important role in contemporary Hungarian politics. An obscure tradition - perhaps spreading from the 19th century diocese of Veszprém - suggests that he could be identified as Peter of Siklós, however it seems to be unplausible, and in lack of relevant sources it couldn't have been proved yet. The author in accordance with an unedited charter from 1369 demonstrates the family members of bishop Peter: they were from Szapolya (former Pozsega county), hence the bishop also can be identified as Peter of Szapolya. Experts always were interested in the origins of the Szapolyais, the most powerful aristocratic - later royal - family of late medieval Hungary. Though the family tree of bishop Peter at present cannot be connected to that of the royal family's, however it is an interesting result that one of the Szapolyais - one century before the royal branch had achieved its first baronian dignity - in the 14th century already played a significant role in the country. The study ends with an appendix consisting of the above-mentioned charter and family tree fragment
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
