- Abstract
In addition to his broad writing and teaching activities, Johann Ludwig von Schedius made a significant contribution to the publication of professional magazines in Hungary. Together with the writer J. Kármán, they published and edited the magazine Uránia (1794), in 1797 - 99 he published on his own Literarischen Anzeiger für Ungarn (Literary Gazette for Hungary), and in the period between 1802-1804 Zeitschrift von und für Ungern zur Beförderung der vaterländischen Geschichte, Erdkunde und Literatur (Journal by and for Hungary for the Promotion of Patriotic History, Geography and Literature). By publishing the magazine Zeitschrift von und für Ungern, he carried on the tradition of his father-in-law Karel Gottlieb Windisch, who was the initiator and publisher of one of the most important professional periodicals in Hungary Ungrisches Magazin (Hungarian Magazine). J. L. Schedius provided his audience with contributions from the field of history, geography, literature and natural science in Hungary. At the time of publishing the first issue in 1802, a topical issue in Hungary was the smallpox vaccination under the new Jenner's method. The work An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae, or Coe-Pox (London, 1798) by E. Jenner became known also across Hungary with the lightning speed, both with the aid of the original as well as translations, especially into German and Latin. The first results and findings on vaccination in Hungary (1801) were provided by J. L. Schedius already in the first year of his magazine Zeitschrift von und für Ungern. In the article, the authors write about the structure of the magazine and give a picture of the beginnings of vaccination in Hungary according to the published articles.
