Summary/Abstract: The above study analyses the hungarian historical writing in the age of “dualism” (1867–1918). In the fi rst part the author introduces the most important institutions, historical journals, source collections, auxiliary sciences, debates … etc. In the second part he treats the main schools/trends of the period, among them the national romantic, the “populist realist”, the social and economic history schools and the so called “Vienna circle”. Beside the currents of the offi cial historiography the study has a glimpse of the “outsiders” of the period, f.e. of the bourgeois radicals and of the beginning of the historical materialism in Hungary. According to the author, the most important feature of the age was the break through of the so called “scientifi c” historiogpahy in the vein of the Rankean professionalism.
