The Kőrösi Csoma Society was founded in 1920 within the framework of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with the aim of representing Hungarian Orientalism and Orientalists.
History[edit]
The Kőrösi Csoma Society was founded in 1920 by Pál Teleki and Zoltán Felvinczi Takács and named for Sándor Kőrösi Csoma, a Hungarian who became the first European to be declared a bodhisattva (a Buddhist saint). The society was banned in 1949 during Hungary's communist period.
The society was reestablished in 1968 by Lajos Ligeti to replace the Oriental section of the Hungarian Linguistic Society. Ligeti was the first president after the Society was reestablished, and Gyula Németh was made the honorary president.[1]
The Society has approximately 800 members and focuses broadly on African and Asian studies, including Sinology, Japanese studies, Korean studies, Mongolian Studies, Tibetan Studies, Iranian Studies, Turkology, Arabic Studies, and Semitic Philology. There are various sections within the Society, including the Islamic Studies Section, the Japan Section, the Inner Asia Section, the Hungarian Prehistoric Section, and the Kőrös Csoma Sándor Section.
