The Bishops’ Lexicon devoted to nineteenth-century Latin-rite prelates, published in 2025 (I–IV, CST I/7), is followed at the beginning of the new year, on the Feast of the Epiphany, by a volume presenting the biographies of the bishops of the Greek Catholic dioceses of Hungary. Spanning 210 pages, the book introduces 31 hierarchs from seven dioceses. As in Chapters I–IV, the introductory descriptions of the Greek Catholic dioceses and the bishops’ biographies in Chapter V are presented in a uniform structure and methodological framework; unlike the earlier volumes, however, the dioceses are here classified and arranged according to the Greek rite rather than by ecclesiastical provinces.
The Vilmos Fraknói Vatican Historical Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Péter Pázmány Catholic University was established in the June of 2012 as the ‘Impetus’ Church History Research Group in the frame of the Church History Research Institute of the University founded by Rector Péter Erdő in 1999. It carries on independently the latter’s publications (Bibliotheca Historiae Ecclesiasticae Universitatis Catholicae de Petro Pázmány Nuncupatae) and researches in Rome and in Vienna, with the involvement of academic and other funding sources.
