Literature and Translation in Hungary’s Cultural Heritagehttps://hdl.handle.net/21.15109/ARP/5LZUPSJózan, IldikóScheibner, TamásARP2025-12-142025-12-14T20:44:57ZThis dataset contains the data outputs of the four-year NKFI Advanced project “Literature and Translation in the Hungarian Cultural Heritage” (150848, 2025–2028). The project’s broader areas of interest include: methodological issues of writing translator biographies; the curation and processing of translators’ archival estates; the methodological challenges of writing translation history; the traces of translation in institutional archives; and the translation programs of world literature book series and literary journals. Within the project, the Hungarian Historical Lexicon of Literary Translators—abbreviated as FordLEX—is being developed. It is a digital knowledge base that aims to map and revisit the history of Hungarian literary translation through translators’ life trajectories, decisions, and mediating roles. The lexicon contains biographical, thematic, and institutional entries, along with structured data and a systematically organized bibliography linked to the entries. FordLEX is an open, continuously expanding, scholarly edited lexicon based on linked relational data.Arts and HumanitiesTranslatorsTranslationsTranslators in literatureHungarian2025Scheibner, TamásJózan, IldikóScheibner, Tamás2025-10-14190020252025-01-01machine-readable textWikidata SPARQL query for "műfordító" (April 2025) and then filtered for deceased personsMagyar Nemzeti Névtér (Hungarian Namespace), OSZK (Hungarian National Library) https://magyarnemzetinevter.hu/ Query for "műfordító" filtered for deceased personsNéppont query for "műfordító" (April 2025) https://www.nevpont.hu/Magyarul Babelben, fordítók listája (list of translators) https://www.magyarulbabelben.net/index.php?page=translatorsHomepage of the Hungarian PEN Club, members (April 2025) https://magyarpenclub.hu/tagsag/HungaryHungarian translators lived worldwide, and since the FordLEX database covers their entire career, the geographic scope is also global despite the dataset's primary relevance to the literature and culture of Hungary.The dataset is closed until the research project runs out of funding.
