Main research activities
The Department was founded in 1987, as a joint department of Cuneiform (Assyriology) and Hebrew. It established Jewish Studies on an academic (university) level in Hungary, as a university major, which had not existed ever before. They work in close partnership with the Centre of Jewish Studies at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, which is a research institute. As a result of this collaboration they have two series of publications: a book series, called Hungaria Judaica, with 17 volumes so far, and an offprint journal (pamphlet series) with 15 titles to date.
