| Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses the life, travels, writings and politics of Arminius Vambéry (1832–1913), a noted Hungarian Turcologist. Vambéry's expertise was in the field of Turcology and he invested several years in Istanbul to study it. Afterwards he travelled for close to two years in Central Asia at great personal risk. Hence he disguised himself as a dervish and collected there manuscripts in the Turkic languages. He used these for his research after his return to Budapest, being appointed as a university professor there. Vambéry published numerous books and articles in several languages describing his life and travel experiences as well as many studies in Turkic linguistics and related fields of research. In his later years he published many newspaper articles on patriotic politics which were intended to promote Hungary's interests. Some of his scholarly works, chiefly on the languages and history of Central Asia, are still referred to today by scholars and students in those areas of research.

| Summary/Abstract |
The dönmes (converts) are a community descended from the disciples and adherents of Sabbatai Tsevi, who abandoned Judaism and adopted Islam in the late seventeenth century. Wary of their Muslim neighbors, they kept to themselves, maintaining strict secrecy in all their religious practices and general behavior. Our knowledge of the dönmes is therefore rather limited.
The main dönme center was in Salonica, where they had a real impact on social and economic life until 1924, when, as a result of the population transfer, the dönmes moved to Turkey, chiefly to Istanbul and Izmir. This migration caused their communal institutions to break down, and growing assimilation into the Muslim Turkish environment (including intermarriages) diminished the dönme population considerably. The hostility of sections of Turkish ultranationalists and extreme Islamists also affected the community

| Summary/Abstract |
The paper will attempt to examine the reactions of the Hebrew press to the Kemalist reforms and their importance for world civilization in general and Turkey's progress in particular. The newspapers wrote approvingly about the process of decision-making by the Kemalists who weighed carefully all options and then carried out all decisions firmly. The press emphasized what it considered Turkey's liberation from an Asiatic civilization and a theocratic regime via the establishment of a secular republic open to Europe and the West. The newspapers praised highly Turkey's drive towards modernization in its political, social and economic development. They were highly appreciative of the language reform and the purification of Turkish from Arabic and Persian loanwords – a process similar to what was going on then in modern Hebrew in Palestine. Some commended the well-organized introduction of the Latin script, an issue which was being debated then in Palestine (but with different results). They also praised the equalization in the status of women in Turkey.
