Abstract
In the Catholic culture of 18th-century Hungary, the influence of Rome is decisive. Th e aim of this paper is to examine the Italian backdrop for the cultural-shaping activities of Ferenc Barkóczy (1710-1765), a Hungarian prelate who studied in Italy. Th e basic questions of my research are the following: how did the years spent studying in Italy define Barkóczy’s patronage? Th e stock of Barkóczy’s book collection contained a large number of Italian books: how did these reflect his interest, spiritual orientation and cultural-shaping activities? Th is high-ranking priest enjoyed a lively correspondence with Italian agents: and so, what cultural-historical aspects did their correspondence contain? Examining new aspects and sources, this paper fits in with the Hungarian-Italian research on the history of relations, and is based on archival research.
