ÉVA SZALONTAI: LEGAL REGULATIONS REGARDING THE FOREIGN CITIZENS'
OWNERSHIPS IN THE AGE OF "POCKET CONTRACTS" (Part 2)

------------------------The author, in her study interspersed with historical and legal policy principles, however being always thematic, analyses the current problems regarding the foreign citizens' agricultural land purchase. She presents the completely bound, the fully liberal and the present limitedly regulated land policy's legal background. She also clarifies the theoretical questions of the regulation and she explores by a significant sociological collection work the backstairs of property acquisition as well as the injurious, mostly economically oriented practice. She standardizes the so-called "pocket-contracts" and tries to analyse the governmental measures intended to prevent these phenomena - to the level of law drafts. Seeking solution alternatives, she explores the authoritative practices of different Western European states in this respect as well as the standardizations in the Hungarian legal literature. The reader of this study can get a comprehensive picture on an important segment of the interesting and topical area lying on the borders of the economy, law and policy.

ZSUZSANNA ÉLIÁS - ZSOLT RETTEGI - ILDIKÓ STURCZ - ENIKŐ SZILÁGYI:
MENTAL HYGIENE PICTURE OF SZOMBATHELY

-----The aim of the research, performed at the request of the Szombathely local government in 2001, was the exploration of the population's mental condition as well as the behavioural customs influencing this condition, the picture built up on the health as well as the attitude towards the problems. The study - illustrating the research results with a plenty of graphs and charts - reflects a closed lifestyle of the population. The lifestyle of Szombathely's population is a conservative, middle-class one. Besides the values regarding the family, the other values connected to the workplace, professional career and personal career are somewhat pushed into the background. Several indices of the mental hygiene are worrying. The authors provide proposals for solving the problems.

ISTVÁN MÉSZÁROS: THE 1945 ELECTION CIRCULAR OF MINDSZENTY

-----After the Second World War, on November 4^th 1945, there was a Parliamentary Representatives' election in Hungary. This happened under the shadow of the victorious Soviet Union in the presence of the Soviet Army, which provided a tremendous help for the Communist Party. The Catholic episcopacy, led by Mindszenty József, Archbishop of Esztergom, has published a circular preceding the elections that was read out in all Catholic churches of the country. Then, there were 6-7 million Catholics in Hungary. Their information regarding the Christian moral public life it was a basic pastor - not at all political - duty of the episcopacy: it was a moral obligation of all catholic persons to participate actively in the public life, therefore in the election too. The study analyses the direct effect of the circular and presents in a detailed manner the distorted opinions presented by Marxist historians of the following decades.

PÉTER ILLÉS: REMARKS ON THE SITUATION OF PEASANTS' CULTURE AS A LEGACY
(Concerning the Oszkó Vineyard's Present Condition)

-----This essay work attempts to provide an insight into the rural community or rather into the life at "Hegyhát" itself, according to cultural anthropological researches done at "Vasi Hegyhát", regarding mainly Oszkó and its neighbouring vineyard areas. The issues drafted in the essay target the problems of cultural identity and the ordinary attitude based on communicative memory towards the local cultural inheritance and the problems of representations of peasants' culture as a legacy. The essay might make it easier to the stranger to understand some of the aspects of social changes happening at "Hegyhát". It would be impossible to make clear the full process of social and cultural mechanisms, but the problem has to be reflected from social scientific point of view, therefore this essay provides the description and exploration of the problems.

NORBERT S. MEDGYESSY: ANALYSIS ON THE "GOLDEN LORD'S PRAYER" SONG

-----The author, in 1997, has found a popular religious booklet inserted into a prayer book entitled "Fragrant Rose Garden" of Lenke Csire, at Perenye settlement. The booklet's title: "Golden Lord's Prayer". The prayer book formerly was in the possession by János Csire (1897-1975).
The Golden Lord's Prayer is a legend ballad telling the last meeting of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary before the sufferance of Jesus. The sufferance is divided according to the days of the Holy Week. The same division can be found in the Lent prayer collection fo the Franciscan friar Johannes Gritsch at Basel (1409-1475) entitled "Quadrigesimale" (Nürnberg, 1483): he mentions in the prayer of Good Friday the dialogue of Virgin Mary and Jesus and the events of the Holy Week divided to days. The scene of the farewell can be found in the passion-play presented in 1743, 1748, 1759 and 1767 at Csíksomlyó. The division to days is not mentioned in this latter passion-play, however, the requests of Virgin Mary are mentioned in the same way as indicated in the Gritsch's speech. Since the contemporary German-language mystery-plays did not contain the farewell scene, it is imaginable that this topic has been derived from the Gritsch's dramatic preaches and later it has become popular through the baroque - e. g. at Csíksomlyó - school plays and later owing to the popular religious booklets. The version found at Perenye is a proof of that.
