Summary/Abstract: Mihály Szegedy-Maszák, Professor Emeritus of Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem (Budapest, Hungary) and Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana), regular member of Magyar Tudományos Akadémia [Hungarian Academy of Sciences], Academia Europaea (London), International Comparative Literature Association, and Nemzetközi Magyarságtudományi Társaság [International Association for Hungarian Studies], editor-in-chief of the periodical publication Hungarian Studies, recipient of Széchenyi Prize, and a scholar of international stature, passed away at the age of 74. His passing is a sad and tremendous loss to the entire Hungarian academic community. The lifework of Mihály Szegedy-Maszák is not only incomparably extensive: it covers an exceptionally long and exciting time period and several academic fields, which makes it particularly significant in our age.
