Scripts (writing systems) usually belong to specific languages and have temporal, spatial and cultural characteristics. The evolution of scripts has been the subject of research for a long time. This is probably because the long-term development of human thinking is reflected in the surviving script relics, many of which are still undeciphered today. The book presents the study of the script evolution with the mathematical tools of systematics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics. In the research described, the script is the evolutionary taxonomic unit (taxon), which is analogous to the concept of biological species. Among the methods of phylogenetics, phenetics classifies the investigated taxa...
Gróf Dessewffy József (1771–1843) tevékeny főnemes, a 19. század első évtizedeinek közismert, szinte mindenkivel kapcsolatban álló, megkerülhetetlen alakja. Sajátos kettősség jellemzi: négy országgyűlésen követ, a sajtószabadság lelkes híve, aki tevékenyen részt vesz a Magyar Tudós Társaság vagy a Casino felállításában, ugyanakkor gróf Széchenyi István konzervatív ellenfele, aki értetlenül áll főúri barátja reformtervei előtt. A magyar kultúra bőkezű mecénása, író, költő, Kazinczy Ferenc meghitt barátja, a magyar nyelv rajongója, aki lelkesen vesz részt a nyelvújítás korának kritikai vitáiban, ugyanakkor Bajza József maradi ellenfele a Conversations-lexikoni pörben, szálka egy feltörekvő nemzedék szemében. Ezek az ellentmondások az érzékeny embertípus 19. századi hanyatlásával és bukásával magyarázhatók. A monográfia azt a társadalomtörténeti folyamatot mutatja be, amiként a 19. század modernizálódó és intézményesülő polgári nyilvánosságának keretei közt a mindennapi élet esztétikailag elgondolt társas és magángyakorlatai formálódnak.

The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of world photography up to the beginning of the twentieth century. It sets out to be the standard, definitive reference work on the subject for years to come. Its coverage is global – an important ‘first’ in that authorities from all over the world have contributed their expertise and scholarship towards making this a truly comprehensive publication. The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena. Coverage includes all the key people, processes, equipment, movements, styles, debates and groupings which helped photography develop from being ‘a solution in search of a problem’ when first invented, to the essential communication tool, creative medium, and recorder of everyday life which it had become by the dawn of the twentieth century. The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.

This code influenced the composition, structure, and procedures of the courts and retained authority even when a parliamentary government was established in the nineteenth century.
