| Abstract | The session surveys from three different perspectives (chronological and thematic) the cultural and political mechanisms connecting and separating the eastern parts of the Hungarian realm to and from the remainder of the kingdom and of medieval Christendom. The approach aims to constitute a multi-level analysis of especially Transylvania and its western and eastern connections, in an inter-religious context, from the Cuman experience of the 13th century to the Ottoman expansion in the 15th century. The papers combine the legal, the humanist and the political perspective in order to provide an overview of regions marked by uses and abuses of various forms of identity that frequently implied also an ideological return to keywords from Antiquity. |
