Abbé Brennier - Histoire des révolutions de Hongrie, où l'on donne une idée juste de son légitime gouvernement - 1739

Superb edition of this historical and political work that traces the uprisings, wars, and institutional transformations of Hungary from the Middle Ages to modern conflicts with the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire.

The author, a clergyman and historian, seeks to provide an ordered and critical reading of the Hungarian revolutions, emphasizing the notion of government legitimacy and the historical rights of the Hungarian nation in the face of foreign interference.

The account combines a chronology of military events, portraits of the insurgent leaders, and analyses of the institutions, while adopting a moral and political perspective characteristic of the 18th century.
