"La Gramática Vasca" de Ferenc Ribáry cumple 150 años

Abstract

In 1866 Ferenc Ribáry teacher at the University of Pest (at present Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem) published a grammar of Basque in Hungarian, which did not escape notice thanks to the French translation of it by Vinson and to the commentaries of L. L. Bonaparte, both published in 1877. As well as evaluating the original and the translation, the article includes texts relating to the reception of the grammar in Hungary, not previously published in Spanish. Although the originals of the letters Bonaparte sent to Ribáry have been lost, their Hungarian translations have been collected. In the appendix, the letters which Ribáry wrote in reply to Vinson’s questions regarding the translation have been included with notes.
