KÁROLY TAGÁNYI AND THE HUNGARIAN REVIEW
OF ECONOMIC HISTORY (1894–1901)
Károly Tagányi (1858–1924) was a historian, archivist and ethnographer. In course of his search for
adequate methodology, he began to study economic history, which proved to be a determinative turn
in his oeuvre. He was a member of the editorial board of the Hungarian Review of Economic History
(Magyar Gazdaságtörténelmi Szemle, 1894–). The editor-in-chief of the journal was formally Alajos
Paikert, yet, until 1901 Tagányi had a major impact on the contents of the journal and the selection
of the authors. During these years Tagányi published two monographs, namely, A földközösség története
Magyarországon (The history of common lands in Hungary) in 1894 and Magyar erdészeti
oklevéltár (‘Hungarian archival documents of forestry’) in 1896. He also published a number of
papers on economic history in Magyar Gazdaságtörténelmi Szemle. The author in her article presents
the manuscript legacy of Károly Tagányi preserved in the National Széchényi Library. These so far
unexplored documents provide data about the edition of Gazdaságtörténelmi Szemle and may offer
alternative interpretations about Tagányi’s study of economic history.
