Ways

Edited by Balázs Nagy and Marcell Sebok,

"Besides his committed political activity, he has always
been a dedicated scholar, (and) an ambitious historian
of the Middle Ages. I hope this collection of writings
being offered to him does justice to this Odyssey."
- Gábor Klaniczay, Collegium Budapest
"The individual contributions are solid and frequently
considerable . the Hungarica section will be extremely
important Western European language introductions to
materials and topics otherwise unavailable to Western
European Readers. The quality is far above the norm
for a Festschriften, a tribute to Bak's great influence
and his own wide interests."
- Professor Patrick J. Geary, Director of the
Medieval Institute, University of Notre Dame
