Summary/Abstract: Árpád Buday was a scholar of Roman studies of the Transylvanian archaeological school, in Cluj-Napoca (Kolozsvár, Transylvania, Romania), later in Szeged (Hungary). He studied Roman epigraphy as well, and between 1906 and 1925 published several inscriptions discovered in the territory of Roman Dacia. The main element among his works is the handbook of Roman, i.e. Latin epigraphy published in 1914 in Cluj that was the first handbook of epigraphy in Hungarian language. Despite that the book excited a contemporaneous scholarly debate, it is still in use.
