The Sources of György Szepsi Korotz's and Krisóf Lackner's Work
The political thinking of Europe in the 16th–17th century was largely leaning on
the works of ancient Greek, Latin and Neo Latin writers. The horizon of the early
modern state’s apparatus should be placed in the coordinate system of political
ecclesiastica, autonomous policy, absolutism and res publica.
There are now two ways to conduct our newest political history studies: the
British intellectual history, and the possibility of German historical concept-based
analysis. Sándor Bene in his proposal concerning the direction of domestic policies
and methods of historical research suggests the fusion of these the methods of
these two schools. This means that during studying the texts created in Hungary
it is strongly advised to organize the concepts we created in a dictionary-like way
and in the same time examine them in regards of the history of their usage. Also
it’s important to outline the types of discourse in which political texts that have
been created, and to interpret the interactions and modifications of these types of
discourses.
In my lecture I’d like to present Kristóf Lackner ’s emblem: Coronae Hungariae
emblematica descriptio and the translation of György Szepsi Korotz’s Basilikon
dóron in terms of their resource use. These works provide a very tight but at the
same time representative ross-section of the domestic political thinking at the
turn of the century.

literary history provides a wider horizon of the period along with a more
