The Universal Hungarian Encyclopaedia (Hungarian "Egyetemes magyar encyclopaedia") is a 13-volume Hungarian lexicon published in the second half of the 19th century.
The lexicon, made in 13 large-format (20x27 cm) volumes, was published between 1859 and 1876 in Pest (and then in Budapest after the unification) under the care of the Szent István Society. The editors of the work were János Török (1807–1874), János Pollák (1824–1884), Ferenc Laubhaimer (1833–1888). The interesting thing about the series is that it appeared not with a page, but with column numbering (the text mirror has 2 columns on 1 page), so the page number is equal to half of the column numbers. It is close to 9,300 columns, or about 4,600 to 4,700 pages.
The lexicon does not have a reprint edition, and can be viewed electronically by registration with a subscription on the Arcanum website; or without registration in the - XIII. with the exception of Volume - on the website of the Münchener Digitalisierungs Zentrum Digitale Bibliothek (see individual volumes in the list below).

The Fourth Battle of Komárom was fought in 30 July and 3 August 1849 between the Hungarian garrison of the fortress of Komárom led by General György Klapka and the besieging Austrian army led by Lieutenant field marshal Anton Freiherr Csorich von Monte Creto. Thanks to the capturing, by a Hungarian detachment of Hussars, of a statement containing the number of the besieging Austrian II. corps, Klapka understood, that he actually has numerical superiority over the besiegers. So in two sorties made on 30 July and 3 August he managed to crush their siege on the northern, then also on the southern section of the fortress, chasing them towards West, and causing them heavy losses. Thanks to this victory Klapka liberated the region between Komárom and Győr, planning to attack Austria, when he learned about the surrender of the Hungarian main troops from 13 August, and as result of this, he retreated with his troops in Komárom.
