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.

W biogramie pisarza sporządzonym przez Jana Smolarza czytamy, że Andrzej Łuczeńczyk w maju 1979 roku ożenił się z Katarzyną Szczepańską, z którą miał troje dzieci: córki – Paulinę i Weronikę oraz syna Alberta. W czasie zamieszkiwania w latach 1979–1984 w Wieluniu, w woj. sieradzkim, pracował w miejscowej betoniarni. Andrzej Łuczeńczyk jest pisarzem mało znanym. Twórcą, który wydał kilka książek i którego Henryk Bereza zaliczał do najwybitniejszych prozaików polskich XX wieku, wymieniając go jednym tchem z Iwaszkiewiczem, Buczkowskim, Białoszewskim i My- śliwskim. 13 sierpnia 1991 roku nad grobem pisarza znany krytyk literacki powiedział, że ziemia lubelska może być tak dumna, jak jest dumna z Bolesława Leśmiana i Józefa Czechowicza. To namaszczenie chyba nie wyszło prozaikowi na dobre. Zaliczany do tzw. szkoły Berezy, został zaszufladkowany i nie musiał już czekać na odkrycie. Został jednak zapomniany. Sądzę, że warto przypomnieć sylwetkę pisarza, o którym Bereza pisał: Andrzej Łuczeńczyk jest pisarzem prawie całkowicie niezależnym od jakichkolwiek wpływów czy powiązań czysto literackich, jest ponadto prawie od samych początków twórczych kreatorem i dysponentem własnego artystycznego stylu.
