Summary/Abstract: In my paper I examine the role of Aladár Bán (1871–1961) in the Finnish-Hungarian cultural relations. The study also addresses the reception of the history of relations from the early twentieth century, as it has influenced how Bán’s role has been studied so far. Examining Aladár Bán’s correspondence, the study focuses on correlations that lead to new insights and information regarding Bán’s role in these relations. Compared to Béla Vikár’s work, the study concludes that Bán mostly played a role in the official relations and therefore he is less prominent in the works about the history of the Finnish-Hungarian cultural relations.
