Saxon-Hungarian Debates of Origination at the End of the 18th Century

Summary/Abstract: In this essay the premises of the German-Saxon-Hungarian debate of origination are investigated. I consider herewith only the Saxon accusations conceived in different periodicals and pamphlets, which later appearing in Schlözer’s book provoke the fierce protest of the Hungarian. Despite of the prior composition of the Saxon cultural superordination, it is usually disregarded by the Hungarian and only later, after the publication of Schlözer’s book triggers indisposition. In this paper I try to sketch the main points present in the Saxon discourse before the appearance of the Kritische Sammlungen, I touch upon the contemporary ideological and practical questions of nation characterology as well as the importance of these in the Saxon-Hungarian relations.
