Some precious documents concerning the history of Polish Freemasonry were found in the Ciążeń Palace Library. One of them is an account written in the interwar periodby a German Freemason Kurt Reichl; a kind of memorandum on his conversation with the chief of Polish Freemasonry, Andrzej Strug, in 1932. The conversation touches uponmany questions, such as the ideology of Polish lodges, their political profile, the attitude towards the internal policy of Poland and other problems, still unknown to historians. Another document is an article by Leon Chajn (a historian) on this memorandum, one of the first attempts in Polish historiography (after the war) to use new sources inreconstructing the history of Polish Masonry and to present it to the public as well. The third and the last document is a commentary on Chajn’s work written by his opponent, also a historian, Professor Ludwik Hass. The historiography of Polish Freemasonry, the struggle between the two Polish historians, the unclear issue of the reliability of the interwar historical source, the profile of Polish interwar lodges and finally the views and opinions of Grand Master Andrzej Strug are the main points of this article.

Musical criticism in Serbia can be traced back to 1825. Amateurs and professional musicians, however, started showing increased interest in making music in the 1880s. Since there were still very few educated musicians in the late nineteenth century, many lawyers, teachers, doctors, priests, and politicians, as well as many other intellectuals or music lovers wrote musical reviews. Many of them were also amateur performers. Until World War I, there were also plenty female musicians in Serbia and some of them were internationally recognized. Most women who were musicians at the time are today forgotten or unknown in the public. This paper represents a bibliography of newspaper articles from 1825 to the beginning of the Great War in which women who were musicians in Serbia are mentioned.

This bibliography represents the fourth sequel of the bibliography of magazines Ženski svet: list dobrotvornih zadruga Srpkinja [Women’s World: The Newsletter of Charity Cooperatives of Serbian Women]. It encompasses the five years in which the magazine was published, from 1899 to 1903 and contains 973 bibliographic units described with de visu language using the script of the publication. As in the previous bibliographies, the units are placed in alphabetical order, according to the author’s surname or the title of the article – when the texts were not signed or when initials were used. Since all units have been entered into the joint database, the COBISS.ID number was provided together with the categorization of the article. In accordance with informative requests, registers that separate the title, the author and the topic have been included.

Marcin Broniewski’s (Latin: Martinus Broniovius; Russian: Martin Bronevskij / Мартин Бро- невский) Tartariae Descriptio, a travel account composed as a result of his visits to the Crimea as an ambassador to the Tatar Khans in 1575 (?) and 1578–1579, is a classical source for any study of the mediaeval and early modern Crimea. The original Latin text of Tartariae Descriptio was first published in Cologne in 1595; its abridged version was printed by Elzevir in 1630 together with a few other important sources on early modern Russia and the Crimean Khanate (Broniewski / Broniovius 1595; 1630). The appearance of this highly important source did not pass unnoticed by European public. Its first translation was published by the famous Samuel Purchas as early as 1625; this translation was several times reprinted later (Broniewski / Broniovius 1625; 1906). Considerably abridged extract from Broniewski’s work was published in Poland about the same time, in 1624; it was also reprinted in the 19th century (Broniewski / Broniovius 1624; 1854). Both editions (especially the Polish one) looked rather as retelling the proper translations and were done in archaic 17th-century English and Polish. For this reason they can hardly be used by modern scholars. The European audience practically forgot about Tartariae Descriptio until 1867 when the Russian translation by I. Šeršenevič with commentaries by N. Murzakevič made Broniewski’s work known to the wide Russian-speaking audience interested in Crimean studies. Although it was done in accordance with academic standards of the time, it certainly lacked the professional approach of modern academic translations. This is why recently, with the growth of interest in the history of the Crimea and its peoples, two new academic translations into European languages (German and Polish) appeared simultaneously.

Following a few earlier writings, the serious comprehensive, systematic scholarly study of Hungarian viticulture and viniculture within ethnology including a European comparison began around the mid-20th century. From the second half of the 1950s up to the early 1980s it was principally the work of István Vincze (1922–1982), his studies published in Hungarian and foreign languages, that examine and typologise the implements and technologies of traditional viticulture and viniculture in the Hungarian-speaking regions, the ways in which wine was stored, the buildings used, as well as the historical strata of viticulture and viniculture, and the local production types. From the 1970s historical-ethnological research on the subject can be associated with the name of Melinda Égető within the frame of over four decades of activity. Although other researchers also produced numerous local studies in those decades, it was Melinda Égető who defined the theoretical and conceptual frames of the research, examined many new specific areas and put forward new interpretations. This is why we consider it important in our issue devoted to the subject to briefly present, sum up and evaluate the scholarly work, together with a selected bibliography of the main works of the researcher who died two years ago. We believe that her achievements also merit international attention.

Der Rückblick auf die vielseitige Laufbahn und die herausragenden wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse von Klára Póczy ist mir eine ehrenvolle Aufgabe. Ich kann es tun, da ich die uns so teure Forscherin, Kollegin, Lehrerin, Klára, oder für so viele Bekannte: Tante Klári, seit etwa fünfzig Jahren kenne. Gestatten Sie mir, diesen Rückblick mit einer persönlichen Erinnerung zu beginnen. Klára Póczy hielt uns, Studenten, Vorlesungen über Materialkunde im Károlyi-Palast.
