Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to give an overview of the contract of gift in Hungarian private law. The study applies a very strong historical approach, since it summarizes the most important features of the development of this legal institute. The most important aim of the study is to identify those features of the contract of donation in the history of Hungarian private law, which are also applied by the current Hungarian legislation (Act No. V. of 2013 on the Civil Code of Hungary). The study also contains a couple of proposals for the eventual reform of the regulation of the contract of gift, as well.
