- Title
THE HABSBURG'S ON THE HUNGARIAN THRONE IN BABAI'S EPIGRAMS.

KARABOVÁ, KATARÍNA
- Abstract
This article is focused on an imprint by the university press of the old university of Trnava in 1773. The imprint contains an epigrammatic work of Jesuit priest Franciscus Babai (1742–1777) Hungariae Reges, in which its author, who worked in Trnava as a director of spiritual library, decided to offer 48 poeticized portraits of Hungarian kings starting from St. Stephan and ending with Maria Theresa. As a model he used a work of Ladislaus Thuróczi Ungaria suis cum regibus, printed and published in Trnava in 1729 and 1768. The author focuses his attention on the Habsburg monarchs and points to the specificities of their portraits in poetry collections.
