- April 2018, Toledo. In the enormous Renaissance Palace of the Hospital de Tavera, the Ducal Archives of Medinaceli. The archivist left me alone in a small reading room with huge piles of #earlymodern documents, reports, and letters from The 9th Duke of Medinaceli, Spanish ambassador to Rome.
- The first short summary in English about my new #ERCCoG project on the parish politics in #earlymodern East Central Europe 1650-1800, examining the role of popular politics on late Catholic confessionalization and early modern state building. tti.abtk.hu/en/news/new-...

- A precious addition to my private archive: a kind note of appreciation from Arturo Sosa, Superior General of the Jesuits, regarding my book on the Hungarian Jesuits. I was genuinely touched — it really meant a lot to me.
- Finally I have my own copy from the book, which was so inspiring for me. #earlymodern
- My new book“The Court of Chameleons” has been published this summer. It explores the transformation of Holy See–Habsburg diplomatic relations during the papacy of Innocent XII (1691–1700) and the liberation of Hungary from the Ottoman rule – for now, only in Hungarian. #earlymodern

- Horrific news out of Assen, Netherlands. Thieves used explosives to access the Drents Museum and made off with several antiquities from ‘Dacia – Empire of Gold and Silver’, including the masterpiece the golden Helmet of Coțofenești, c. 450 BCE, a loan from the National History Museum of Romania. 🏺 😡
