Tivadar Kostka Csontváry is revered as a visionary and mystical painter, but it is rather not emphasised that he was also a meticulous observer and scientifically trained interpreter of nature. This study analyses his painting Great Tarpatak in the Tatras to show the influence that had the contemporary natural sciences (geology, evolutionary biology, psychology, spectroscopy) and trends that revitalised art (ballet, photography and the moving image) on Csontváry. His paintings and writings proved that his lifelong interest and commitment to the natural sciences were a defining part of his mystical vision of the world.

This study based on the author’s doctoral dissertation presents the domestic implementation of international expectations about the mandated psychiatric treatment. In order to assess the Hungarian practice related to international expectations, it seems essential to review how society perceived people with intellectual disabilities in specific historical ages and how their role was established in contemporary communities. This popular imaging was being changed temporally depending on the prevailing culture and had undoubtedly a significant impact on the legislation.

Being healthy was obviously important in Christianity. Medicine preserved its independence and place for practical reasons in the Christian world throughout the Medieval Ages. Albeit, the Church considered physical health only as a secondary value and preferred essentially mental health instead. In the 16th century, however, at the dawn of the Reformation, the introductions of health advisory and dietetics booklets concerned the preservation of health not only as a necessary precondition, but a value, and even a moral duty of believers. This view is clearly proven by early sources of Hungarian medical vocabulary.

Nowadays, we hear a lot about the availability of specific foods and their impact on the environment. There are significant differences in food distribution among regions of the World. The main reasons behind this are environmental conditions (climate, water sources), political factors and the transition of social and economic structures. Historically, it is obvious that food production followed closely the changing environment and society acknowledged it in the production and supply. Currently, society is experiencing a population explosion which the agricultural sector cannot adapt to in a sustainable way.

For many thousands of years, men recognised, collected and cultivated vegetables, fruits, cereals and other herbs not only as food but also as medicine in many cases for fighting various diseases. Ethnomedicine and early scientific medicine incorporated gradually and empirically in their own specific way the aetiology, diagnostics and therapy. The way of recognising and treating conditions included beliefs and rational and irrational elements respectively. The knowledge enhanced over millennia resulted eventually in the development of healing systems. The early medical practices of European people were influenced primarily by Greco-Roman and Asia Minor scientific medicine that was based also on Old-Egyptian traditions. Remarkably, there is no detectable direct impact of Far Eastern or American Indian medicine on the European medical culture, the cause of which is not only the large distance but also the significant difference in understanding health and ill health. This overview based also on the authors’ former research in the history of medicine concerns only the findings equally relevant both in nutrition and medicine.

The first bookseller-publisher company was established in Pest 1748. The book publishing and printing industry were primarily influenced by the growing number of educational and cultural institutions. The book publishing activity was greatly influenced by censorship mandates. We summarize these in a chronological order concerning especially the publication of medical textbooks.
