Annotation
The doctoral dissertation aims to conduct a detailed analysis of the contents, sources, style, and language present in the historical works of Franciscus Kazy SJ. This includes his history of the University of Trnava (Historia Universitatis Tyrnaviensis, 1737) and the three-volume compendium detailing the history of the Hungarian Kingdom in the period 1601–1681 (Historia Regni Hungariae, 1737, 1741, 1749). The interpretation of Kazy's works should be grounded in the context of both Hungarian and European historiography during the first half of the eighteenth century.
