Recenzii

'The uses of authority-symbols and inauguration rituals for forging national identity in a loose-knit and heterogeneous polity receive brilliant elucidation from these investigations of a scholar steeped in medieval western and Byzantine history alongside his native Hungary’s past and present. The editors deserve praise not just for setting scattered articles between hard covers but for creating a coherent whole.' English Historical Review
