the remainder of the translation costs was covered by a special grant under the “Budapest Bank for Budapest” scheme The Budapest City Archives also ­contributed significantly to the completion of the volume by financing the drawing of the maps and additional editorial work The Budapest H ­ istory ­Museum kindly gave permission to reproduce images from their collection The Department of Medieval Studies at Central European University, B ­ udapest, the  home institution to three of the editors and several authors, has provided time to work on the manuscript and served as a focus for the large network of scholars who have contributed to this project We dedicate this work to the memory of the most knowledgeable and ­enthusiastic scholar of medieval Buda and the urban history of Hungary in the Middle Ages, the late András Kubinyi, who we hope would have been very satisfied with this volume The Editors www.Ebook777.com ... of present-day Budapest including the medieval Pauline monastery at Budaszentlőrinc (in present-day Budapest), the results of which he published with György Szekér (A budaszentlőrinci pálos kolostor...
