In Memory of the Literary Historian György Lajos (1890-1950)

Summary/Abstract: The city of Cluj was home to many renowned personalities, many of whom nowadays are mostly forgotten. Among them is the literary historian, university professor and library director György Lajos. György studied in Cluj and began his teching career in the early 1910s in Budapest. After his return to the Treasure City in 1916, he immersed himself in the literary and educational public life of Cluj by writing textbooks and collections of texts for Hungarian pupils, taking part in a number of civil associations and by researching the Hungarian anecdotal heritage with a comparatist approach which emphasized the cultural connections of the Hungarian literature. He returned to his teaching activity in 1940 and continued until 1947 when he was forced to leave the university after vehement attacks in the local mass-media. Among other activities, he was the last director of the Lyceum library before the nationalization of 1948 and he also edited a number of periodicals. In 1926, he even started a serial publication, Erdélyi Tudományos Füzetek (Transylvanian Scientific Booklets), which continues to this day.
