Adatok a magyarországi ötvösség történetéhez IX. Miskolc
Addenda to the history of goldsmith’s art in Hungary IX. Miskolc
In the earlier scientific literature dealing with the Hungarian masters’ mark (thus also in the book of Kőszeghy Elemér: Magyarországi ötvösjegyek a középkortól 1867-ig / Merkzeichen der Goldschmiede Ungarns vom Mittelalter bis 1867. Budapest 1936) the data about the smiths of Miskolc was corrupted, because it had been mixed up with the data about the smiths from other cities (eg. Munkács, today Mukačeve, Ucraine). The study includes the revision of the scientific literature about the smiths of Miskolc, and collects with an ambition of completeness all the data related to them. We have relatively few sources dating from the 16th-17th centuries, but the smiths begin to appear in written sources from the 18th century onwards. The appearing names are sometimes related to the works which are still around today. The study details many of these connections. The smiths of Miskolc were working organized into guilds. The Jewish smiths living in the city have joined the guild of masters of Jewish faith which was founded in 1836.
This is the sixth part of a series of publications about the history of goldsmith's art in Hungary based on archival sources, registrars, citizens’ registers, guild documents, tax registers processed by cities and regions. The goldsmiths and silversmiths revealed by the above documents by name are compared with the old research literature to rectify its data on the one hand, and on the other, goldsmith's marks and objects are attributed to the particular artists. The present publication reviews the history of goldsmith's art in Nagyszombat (today Trnava, Slovakia), the first part of which – the 15–17th century – was released in Művészettörténeti Értesítő 2009/1. Now the equally rich output of the 18–19th centuries is taken stock of, together with the names of several artists. Some published art works are known from public collections, others from private owners or art dealers.

An attempt to solving some Hungarian goldsmith's marks XII
Abstract
The study is the new installment of a series running already for 22 years. The author systematically collects masters' marks of goldsmith's ware mostly cropping up in the art trade, trying to identify the towns and masters with the help of earlier research literature (Elemér Kőszeghy, 1936; Ilona P. Brestyánszky, 1977), often correcting the information they provide. The work is complemented by thorough archival research, with all available data about identified goldsmiths in city registers being published. The present paper first identifies the works and marks of Pest goldsmiths (Ferenc József Trautzl around 1780, József Trautzl around 1824–39, János Lehman, 1862, János Krieck, 1829, I. József Pasperger, around 1780), followed by a new master's mark of Wenzel Gretschl of Buda on a work of 1821. He discussed some of them earlier, too; now he calls attention to some forged objects. A separate unit comprises the goldsmithing of Bán (Bánovce, Slovakia) and Rozsnyó (Rožnava, Slovakia) in Trencsén county: in the former town János Oravszky and János Ottó worked almost synchronously (around 1828), while the son of Bán goldsmith Leopold Goldner, Anton, can be documented in Rozsnyó. In addition to 19th century goldsmiths of Gyöngyös (János Goldberger) and Kecskemét (Dávid Auslener), he has data on an 18th century master of Miskolc (Ferenc Szombati, between 1750 and 1795). In Pécs, he attributes a new work to the earlier presented Jakab Posz, then he enriches our knowledge of the goldsmiths of the one-time capital of Hungary, Pozsony with new marks and objects (Fidelis Mayer, József Steinmassl, János Hauck, Mihály Ehrenhoffer, Joannes Gerick, Joseph Weinstabl from the first half of the 19th c.). Finally he introduces the earlier completely unknown goldsmithing in the market town of Tolna through the 19th c. work of Lajos Schulz.
Adatok a magyarországi ötvösség történetéhez VIII. Veszprém, Nyitra
Addenda to the history of goldsmith's art in Hungary VIII. Veszprém, Nyitra
Abstract
The article is the eighth part of the titular series. The goldsmith's art in Veszprém was elaborated in a monographic study by Árpád Somogyi, while Nyitra in former upper Hungary (Nitra, SK) has no such summary. The author now collates the goldsmiths known by name from the registers of births, marriages and deaths, and from tax registers with types of objects included in the 18th century price-lists (limitatio). He identifies the cup of Tótvázsony made in 1761 as the work of Mihály Nánai, and attributes other art works appearing in the art trade to 18–19th century masters. The chief novelty in Nyitra is the attibution of 19th century works to the Szodomka family and János Ludvig.
Kísérlet néhány magyarországi ötvösjegy feloldására XIX.
An attempt to elucidate some Hungarian Goldsmiths’ marks XIX
To continue my previous papers, I wish to present and try to elucidate the new makers’ marks and mark variants found in private collections and the art trade. The time interval is again the 18–19th centuries. The first to be mentioned are the twin capital cities Buda and Pest, as well as Óbuda. In Buda, new data have been found about Franciscus Mechthler, in Pest about Carolus Schmidt and Menyhárt Boll, in Óbuda of Fülöp Adler. This is followed in alphabetic order by several cities of the Hungarian Kingdom. Arad (Arad, R), Balassagyarmat, Besztercebánya (Banská Bystrica, Neusohl, SK), Eger (Erlau), Esztergom (Gran), Győr (Raab), Igló (Spišská Nová Ves, SK), Kassa (Košice, Kaschau, SK), Kismarton (Eisenstadt, A), Liptószentmiklós (Liptovský Svätý Mikuláš, SK), Losonc (Lučenec, Lizenz, SK), Miskolc, Nagybecskerek (Zren janin, SR), Nagykanizsa (Großkirchen), Nagyszeben (Si biu, Hermannstadt, R), Rimaszombat (Rimavská Sobota, Großsteffelsdorf, SK), Selmecbánya (Banská Štiavnica, Schemnitz, SK), Szatmárnémeti (Satu Mare, Sathmar, R), Szentendre, Temesvár (Timişoara, Temeswar, R), Tolna, Zágráb (Zagreb, Agram, HR). The weight of new infor mation varies by settlements. In some places only a new version of the known hallmark was found, there are places where new goldsmiths were come across or new biographic data were found of known masters. Finally, I enumerate the goldsmiths’ works in Hungary which display Viennese city mark imitations in addition to the makers’ marks. The article is accompanied with a diagram of 117 goldsmiths’ marks.
