Theodore Ortvay (1843-1916) was one the best-known personalities of the 19th-century Hungarian positivist historiography. Nonetheless, his scientific biography featuring new aspects is still missing. This study is partly an attempt to compensate for this. Although the Slovak historical science considers him as a historian specialized on the medieval history of Bratislava, Ortvay\u00b4s academic activities were of a much wider range. His works of an enduring value encompassed the uneasy areas of social, economic and cultural history. Despite the fact that he spent three decades in Bratislava, his academic research remained mainstream. The author of this study deals with Ortvay\u00b4s career and achievements, he highlights the historian\u00b4s engagements in Bratislava from the perspective of fundamental research. He examines Ortvays\u00b4s works in the context of the 19th century social sciences in Hungary, in the contemporary discourse. He devotes special attention to the analysis of the historian\u00b4s scientific and public social networks (Szentkl\u00e1ray, Fl\u00f3ris R\u00f3mer, Arnold Ipolyi). A further, not-so-hidden objective of the study is to pave the way for Ortvay\u00b4s cult in Bratislava\u2014in a positive sense, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
