In the Shadow of Mohács. Two Decades in the History of Hungarian–Ottoman Affairs (1519–1541) (Collectanea Vaticana Hungariae I/26), by TAMÁS KRUPPA, ed. Viktor Kanász and Gábor Nemes, published by the Vilmos Fraknói Roman Historical Research Group and the Moravcsik Gyula Institute / Collegium Professorum Hungarorum, Budapest–Rome, 2026 (330 pp.).
The volume is the book version of the author’s doctoral dissertation submitted to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2024 from the University of Szeged under the title 'From the Jagiellonians to the Szapolyais: Two Decades in the History of the Kingdom of Hungary (1519–1541)'. The official peer review of the dissertation—consisting of the reports by István Tringli, Tibor Neumann, and Pál Ács, together with the author’s responses—can be consulted here.
The book introduces numerous previously unexamined Italian sources—especially from Rome and Venice—into the historical discourse and brings the half-century-long historiographical debate surrounding the so-called “Süleyman offer” to a new level.
