The Hungarian Catholic Lexicon (Hungarian : Magyar katolikus lexikon) is a large-scale lexicon series in Hungarian, dealing mainly with religious topics.
Regarding the history of the Lexicon, the editors note the following in the preface to the first volume:
In 1980, Szent István Társulat Könyvkiadó undertook to publish the Hungarian Catholic Lexicon. At first, it seemed a solution to shorten the 10-volume material of the famous Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche, published in 1957–65, and to supplement it with Hungarian material. However, examination of the glossary prepared as a first step revealed that this path was impossible. The Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche was born in a German cultural circle (and schools), was made for people raised in the traditions of this cultural circle, and its approach, references, attachments and examples cannot be transposed by simple translation. Coordinating the work of translators of different qualifications, proofreading, discussions arising from misunderstandings ... etc.
The editors intended to emphasize topics related to the Hungarian church in particular. Under the editorship of István Diós and János Viczián, the Hungarian Lexicon was thus prepared independently of the Lexikon für Theologie and Kirche, and includes a range of items relating to local history, ethnography, botany, and music history.
The Lexicon, which was published in 15 volumes between 1993 and 2010 and comprises around 15,000 printed pages, was carried out under the auspices of the Szent István Társulat (St. Stephen Society), which has traditionally published ecclesiastical literature. The two-column text is decorated with many black and white and some color photographs and illustrations. In 2013, an additional volume (A–Zs) was published as the 16th, and then in 2014 the series was closed by an index volume (volume 17).
The most important of the topics covered by the encyclopedia are the followingː
In addition to the printed edition, the Hungarian Catholic Lexicon has also been available in electronic form. András Rácz, a student of the Faculty of Information Technology of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University, took part in the creation of the Internet version, under the supervision of Miklós Pásztor.
