Egy német és két muszlim. Freisingi Ottó, Abu Hámid és Idriszi a 12. századi Magyarországról
A German and Two Muslims: Otto Frisingensis, Abu Hamid and Idrisi on Hungary in the 12th Century

Summary/Abstract: We have three sources from the 12th century attempting to offer an image of contemporary Hungary. These three works are widely dissimilar: Otto Frisingensis's text is closest to a country description in the modern sense, while Idrisi’s is more like a mediaeval route planner, which also describes the main stations. Otto Frisingensis is most interested in the political regime of the Hungarian Kingdom, while Abu Hamid’s attention is primarily dedicated to the Muslims living in Hungary, and Idrisi’s work contains almost exclusively information relevant for tradespeople visiting Hungary.
