Medieval Buda in Context discusses the
character and development of Buda and its
surroundings between the thirteenth and the
sixteenth centuries, particularly its role as a
royal center and capital city of the medieval
Kingdom of Hungary. The twenty-one articles
written by Hungarian and international
scholars draw on a variety of primary sources:
texts, both legal and literary; archaeological
discoveries; architectural history; art history;
and other studies of material culture. The
essays also place Buda in the political, social,
cultural and economic context of other
contemporary central and eastern European
cities. By bringing together the results of
research undertaken in recent decades for an
English-language readership, this volume
offers new insights into urban history and the
culture of Europe as a whole.
