Storia d’Ungheria 4 – Viktor Kanász’s Monograph
Monograph by Viktor Kanász, titled Lo sguardo di Roma sul Regno d’Ungheria. Il nunzio Girolamo Martinengo alla corte di Ferdinando I d’Asburgo (1550–1554), represents the fourth volume in the series. The author originally addressed this subject in his 2022 doctoral dissertation, followed in subsequent years by further archival research, the findings of which are now accessible in Italian. The volume examines the mid-sixteenth-century relations between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Hungary through the diplomatic mission of the papal nuncio Girolamo Martinengo between 1550 and 1554.
From Rome to Mohács: Further Lectures Marking the 500th Anniversary
The members of the Research Group played an active role in the commemorations marking the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mohács. The subject has remained relevant beyond the anniversary on 29 August, and events relating to Mohács have therefore continued throughout the autumn. In this context, Viktor Kanász, Research Fellow of the Group, has also delivered several lectures over the past two months.

Bishops’ Lexicon 1804–1918: Greek Catholic Dioceses
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 Conclusion of the Fraknói Centennial
The Fraknói Centennial series of events, which commenced on February 27, 2024, and lasted for a year, concluded on February 26, 2025, on the eve of the birthday of Vilmos Fraknói (1843–1924), former Secretary General of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, at the Central Seminary. This institution, within whose walls Fraknói, as a seminarian, decided to pursue a career as a historian alongside the priesthood, was also where he composed his first works and academic papers between 1858 and 1864.

FRAKNÓI MEMORIAL BOOK (CVH I/24)
The centenary year organized by the Research Group named after Vilmos Fraknói was built on two main pillars: the commemorative conference held in early May in Nagyvárad and the international symposium in Rome. The annotated version of the presentations from the Nagyvárad conference, supplemented with additional studies, writings, and appendices, was published on October 16, 2024, as volume I/24 of the CVH series.
Fraknói Centennial and Diocesan History: "The Centuries of the Archdiocese of Kalocsa"
At the beginning of August 2023, the presenters at the IX. Fraknói Summer Academy shared the results of their latest research on the history of the Archdiocese of Kalocsa with the audience in the archiepiscopal city. As a result of the academy, a volume has now been published, featuring nine studies edited by Viktor Kanász and György Sági. Following the foreword by research group leader Péter Tusor, the writings are organized into four chapters.
International Conference of the Research Group in Rome (INSR)
Fraknói Centenary (1924–2024) The prominent international event of the Fraknói centenary took place on June 6, 2024, at the Aventine headquarters of the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Romani, next to the headquarters of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. At the scientific conference titled Protagonisti e Collaboratori – Studiosi provenienti dall’Europa centro-orientale presso gli archivi della Santa Sede tra il 1881 e il 1918 (Protagonists and Collaborators - Researchers from Central and Eastern Europe at the Holy See Archives between 1881 and 1918), in addition to members of the Fraknói Research Group, Italian, Austrian, Czech, Polish, and Croatian researchers also gave presentations.
Fraknói-Centenary – Wreath-laying ceremony at the Lateran Basilica
The Fraknói Centenary (1924–2024) marked a significant event on June 4, 2024, in Rome. June 4 is the anniversary of the Treaty of Trianon and the Day of National Unity. Notably, on the same day in 1882, the committee overseeing the publication of the Monumenta Vaticana Hungariae was established in Budapest under the chairmanship of Cardinal Lajos Haynald, Archbishop of Kalocsa. It was therefore fitting that the Research Group, in Rome for the centenary international memorial conference, paid tribute on this day to the monumental memorial of Hungarian statehood and its commissioner, Vilmos Fraknói, in the Lateran Basilica.
Storia d’Ungheria – The Viterbo Series of the Fraknói Research Group
       Fraknói-Centenary 1924–2024 Under the title "Storia d’Ungheria – History of Hungary," the Fraknói Research Group and the Moravcsik Gyula Institute are launching a new international book series, published by Edizioni Sette Cittá in Viterbo. The primary goal of the series is to publish the results of their own fundamental research and the findings of Hungarian historiography, art and literary history, as well as Italian-Hungarian relations, in either Italian or English. The secondary goal is to publish historical works related to Hungary exclusively in Italian, which may be of interest in Italy.
10th Fraknói Academy – Nagyvárad
The venue and theme of the Fraknói Academy, held for the tenth time, is justified by the centenary of the death of Vilmos Fraknói (1843–1924) in 2024. Vilmos Fraknói was the main organizer of Hungarian historical research in the Vatican following the gradual opening of the Holy See's collections from 1881. He initiated the Monumenta Vaticana Hungariae, and in the 1890s, using the income from his ecclesiastical benefices, he established the Hungarian Historical Institute in Rome as a private institution. He did not work alone; several others joined the efforts. The roles of his collaborators are important, yet their activities in Rome have not been thoroughly examined by historical scholarship.There is also much to be said about Fraknói Vilmos's years in Rome, his plans, and especially his legacy.

The 'Bischofslexikon 1804–1918,' the overarching mega-project of the Fraknói Research Group, concluded its first phase on Pentecost in 2020.

The Fraknói Research Group in Kolozsvár

IX. Fraknói Summer Academy (Kalocsa)
From 3 to 5 August 2023, the city of Kalocsa hosted the IX Fraknói Summer Academy. Sixteen lectures were presented in five sessions of the three-day conference on Church History. New research results were presented in three venues this year. It was organised by the ELKH-PPKE-PTE Vilmos Fraknói Vatican Historical Research Group, the ELKH Gyula Moravcsik Institute and this time the PPKE BTK. This year the three-day event was organised in cooperation with the ELKH-OSZK Fragmenta et Codices Research Group, the András Kubinyi Historical Workshop of the PPKE BTK and the Károly Viski Museum. As in previous years, this year's conference served as a community-building event, in addition to interpreting current research results.
The Fraknói Research Group's research trip to Rome
The Fraknói Research Group is the intellectual heir and successor to the work of the eponymous Vilmos Fraknói. Its historical series, the Collectanea Vaticana Hungariae, published since 2004, is a continuation of Fraknói's Monumenta Vaticana Hungariae.  The essence of the research group's work is that while the place of research and presentation of results is predominantly Rome, the processing work is carried out in domestic research centres, above all at the PPKE (Péter Pázmány Catholic University, Budapest).
