metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Since the 1950s the Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian scholars have carried out research aimed
  at analysing the personal correspondence of Matthias Bel, a Hungarian polymath and one of
  the most significant intellectuals of the first half of the 18th century in the Habsburg monarchy.
  Analysis of Bel’s letters has revealed many interesting facts about Bel’s life as a Baroque
  scholar. It has also brought to light the sphere of his collaborations with various colleagues,
  both domestic and foreign ones. Amongst Bel’s contacts, there were also German scientists
  from the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences, most importantly, Gottlieb Siegfried Bayer and
  Christian Goldbach. With the recent emergence of the projects supporting the publication of
  the bilingual Latin-Slovak translations of Bel’s major work Notitia Hungariae novae historico
  geographica, historians have been seeking for to widen a range of its possible interpretations or
  to compare Bel’s opus magnum with similar works of his contemporaries. The study thus focuses
  on the analysis of a trace, which Bel’s communication left in the Russian historical milieu
  in the first half of the 18th century. On the basis of historical sources, and with corresponding
  relevant scholarship, a connection with Vasilii Nikitich Tatishchev’s work Istoriia rossiiskaia
  is outlined. With Bayer being in contact with both Bel and Tatishchev, a rather unexpected
  bridge was built between the Hungarian and Russian science in the era of the early Enlightenment.
  The aim of the study is to introduce new, and yet unpublished discoveries about the
  work of Matthias Bel and Vasilii Nikitich Tatishchev.
