Miklós István Földváry
Born in Budapest on 26 October 1978 to Éva Júlia Szőnyi and Imre György Földváry I am currently a senior lecturer at the Latin Department of the Faculty of Humanities, Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest. My family is of Hungarian Catholic and Jewish heritage; my Catholic ancestors were the members of the Transdanubian landed gentry, while my Jewish forbearers were residents of Zala and Somogy counties, the town of Pásztó, and Budapest. My first marriage came to a sudden end, with the death of my wife, Judit Martin in 2011. In the ten years of marriage prior to her passing we had three children: Zsófia Sára (2003), Magdolna (2005), and Luca (2007). I married my second wife, Sára Nényei in 2012, and have since had three children: Mária Annunciáta (Mary, 2012), Jakab (James, 2014), and Károly (Charles, 2017). As a Roman Catholic I believe in traditional liturgy, church discipline and piety. Beside my professional capacity as an educator at ELTE, I also lead the Research Group of Liturgical History, and am an external lecturer at the Church Music Department of The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. My current address is 14 Podmaniczky utca (street), Gödöllő, Hungary, H-2100 (tel.: +36-28-417379; +36-20-456-6678).
I began my university studies on a Latin-Egyptology course at ELTE in 1997, the next year my application to a course in ancient Greek was accepted. I received an honours degree as a Teacher of Latin language and culture in 2002, and a degree in Ancient Greek Philology in 2004. The Medieval Philology Programme of the Latin Department allowed me to deepen my knowledge of the field. Between 2002 and 2005 I was a state-funded student of the Ancient Studies Doctoral Programme at the Doctoral School for Linguistic Studies. The defence of my dissertation entitled: “Rubrica Strigoniensis. The Normative Texts of the Medieval Use of Esztergom.”—which also contained the publication of three source documents—was awarded a “summa cum laude” distinction.
From 2004 onwards I was a member of the “Ritualia Hungarica” project, and from 2009 the principal investigator of the “Medieval Pontificals in Hungary” project, both of which were financed by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA). In 2013 I became the principal investigator of the OTKA project entitled: “The Study of the Variants of Western Liturgy”. My academic progress was supported by a three year Bolyai Scholarship from 2009 onwards; the compulsory closing report of my scholarship was classified as “exemplary” by a panel of my academic peers.
The examination of Latin liturgy, and publishing sources connected to it, has been at the centre of my academic work since 2001. In this capacity I have published over 90 pieces of academic writing since 1999, and given lectures at about thirty national and international conferences. In 2002 the editors of the internationally acknowledged journal “Hungarian Church Music” offered me a position as copy-editor, an assignment I am honoured to fulfil to this day.
Roman liturgy has been a central part of my life since childhood, and my interest encompasses not only its musical but material culture as well. In 2004 I became a leading figure of an initiative to revive the classical Hungarian Roman liturgy, known as the medieval Use of Esztergom. To deepen my understanding of liturgy I have spent many years examining the traditions of Jewish and Orthodox-Serb communities in Hungary, while doing in-field research in Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Ukraine.
Between 2002 and 2011 I was a lecturer of Latin, and certain liturgical subjects (Divine Office, Liturgical History) at the Church Music Department of The Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music (LFZE). Over the years I was offered a position as an assistant lecturer but was forced to resign in 2011 due to a lack of time. In the past years I have taught three lessons a week at the same department. As a postgraduate student, I taught four Latin lessons a week at the Latin Department of ELTE Faculty of Humanities from 2002 onwards. 2004 and 2006 both saw an increase in the number of my lessons (nine and twelve respectively), which also become more diverse: source and publication editing, Roman and comparative religious history, palaeography and reading classical texts (Nepos, Sallust, Livy, Cicero, the Vulgate, Roman Euchology). Working as a supervisor I have helped the completion of one PhD dissertation and three graduate theses; a second PhD dissertation is currently nearing completion. In an attempt to aid the academic growth of my peers, and students I organise research trips, field-work, summer camps and other opportunities to experience liturgy first-hand. In addition, I invite the most talented and dedicated students to join the work of the Research Group of Liturgical History.

vált közkeletuvé; azelott a latin rítusterület nyugati felén a manuale, keleti felén az agenda jelölte ugyanezt a mufajt. Kisebb elterjedtségnek örvendett néhány más megjelölés, köztük az obsequiale, amely egy viszonylag szuk, jellegzetesen közép-európai körben volt használatos.
Az esztergomi obsequiale egyike volt a korai nyomtatványkor Magyarországon legnépszerubb kiadványainak. A könyvet rendeltetésénél fogva sokat használták az átlagosnál kedvezotlenebb fizikai körülmények között, mivel ebbol végezték például a temetést vagy a templomon kívül tartott processziós rítusokat, így könnyen hordozhatónak kellett lennie (ehhez igazodott a kiadások választott könyvmérete is). Más könyvtípusoknál gyorsabban elhasználódott; talán ez is közrejátszott
abban, hogy legalább kilenc kiadást megért az 1490 és 1560 közti idoszakban, mégis oly kevés példánya maradt ránk.
Az utókor érdeklodésére elsosorban azért tarthat számot, mert ez a magyar középkor elso és egyben utolsó forrása, amely részletesen és a
teljesség igényével közli az emberi élet nagy határhelyzeteihez kötodo szertartások hazai változatát, és mert ez az egyetlen forrás, amelynek tartalma végigkövetheto az esztergomi úzus közel ezer évén át, azaz hidat képez a XI. századi kezdetek és az utolsó, XX. század eleji fejlemények között.
