Latin as a Factor in the Creation of a Special Cultural Frontier Abstract The article analyses the role of Latin as a universal means of communication among intellectuals during the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. The author argues that the main task of Neo-Latin studies in Ukraine is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of literature and the affirmation of the modern concept of the history of Ukrainian culture as an inherently synthetic process. As a result of even a superficial review of the Latin authors of the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries and the imagery of their works, we can learn much about the place and role of bourgeoisie and Polish noblemen in Ukrainian society of that time, as well as look with new eyes at the Cossacks, clergy, and peasants, reaching not only to previously unknown information but also, what is valuable to a philologist, to its refined wording. The representatives of a variety of professional circles, political views, and regions made their contribution to the Latin works in different genres during more than five hundred years – that is why the reader can now afford to choose works for every taste.

The Historia regum Hungariae, the three-volume work by György Pray (1723–1801), Jesuit historian, was published in 1801. The third volume of the Historia discusses the historical events until the end of the reign of Maria Theresa, 1780. In addition, this first volume had already been published separately before the first two ones with the title Historia Regum Hungariae stirpis Austriacae in 1799. The last decade of György Pray’s life, as well as the fairly intricate story of the creation of the Historia are now adequately explored and documented, in spite of the fact that no modern edition or translation of the historical work has been issued so far. However, there still exist unsettled questions deserving elaborate answers. What could discourage Pray from accomplishing his original goal, writing something completely dedicated to the state and constitutional history? Furthermore, exactly what kind of ideas and historical perspectives does this work represent, especially in the case of the third volume portraying the Habsburg rulers as Hungarian kings? Did Pray serve only imperial interests? Also, was he able to square the aulic perspective with the ‘national’ sentiment?
