XXX Международный конгресс ИИСАА. 19–21 июня 2019 г. Т. 1

Секция VI 256 XXX Международный Конгресс по источниковедению и историографии стран Азии и Африки gave rise to modern Ismaili historiography. This paper concludes that in nearly thirty years (1931–1959) of focused research, Ivanow reconstructed the Ismaili history and abolished the polemic accounts of the rival Sunni polemicists, which came to be known as the black legends. This paper discusses the presented statements through a critical analysis of Ivanow’s major works and publications on Ismaili studies. It also looks into the legacy and major by-effects of Ivanow’s scholarly works in the field of Ismaili studies. Krisztina Hoppál (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Hopp Ferenc Museum of Asiatic Arts, Budapest), Marina Kuznetsova-Fetisova (Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow), Timur Safin (The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow) Count Zichy Jenő’s Russian expeditions and the archaeological collection of the Hopp Ferenc Museum of Asiatic Arts Count Jenő Zichy (1837–1906), a famous Hungarian writer, politician and traveler, devoted a lot of time and efforts to searches of the ancestral Hungarian homeland.At the end of the 19th century, he organized three large-scale expeditions on the territory of the Russian Empire (1895, 1896 and 1897–1898), which were considered a way to find their ancestral homeland, and to understand themselves better through Russia. The expeditions of Count Zichy, in which many prominent Hungarian scholars of that time took part, collected a lоt of documentary evidence and artifacts in Russia. The materials of the expeditions are among the most valuable documentary evidence of the life of Russia at the end of the 19th century, and the collections gathered during the expeditions are of great academic value. Anumber of books and articles were published within a few years after the expedition: Zichy J. Kaukázusi és közép-ázsiai utazásai (Voyages au Caucase et en Asie Centrale. La migration de la race hongroise par le comte Eugéne de Zichy). Budapest, 1897, vol. I–II; Zichy Jenő oroszországi és keletázsiai expeditiójának beszámolója (1897–1898). Budapest, 1898; Jankó J. Amagyar halászat eredete — Herkunft der magyarischen Fischerei. Zichy Jenő gróf előleges beszámolójával. I–II. kötet. (Zichy Jenő gróf harmadik ázsiai utazása. I kötet.). Budapest — Leipzig, 1900 etc.). Despite the undeniable scholarly value of both the expeditions of Count Zichy and the collections of artifacts gathered during his travels, at present, their results are only known to a narrow circle of specialists, primarily Hungarian ones 1 . This is partly due to the fact that the main publications were in Hungarian and were 1 E. g., Kodolányi J. (jr.). Gróf Zichy Jenő harmadik ázsiai expediciója és Jankó János // Néprajzi Értesitő. 1997. Vol. 79. Ol. 47–56.
