The seventieth birthday commemoration of the outstanding representative of Hunga­rian Turkic studies, Professor Mária Ivanics, was held 11 September 2020, at 11 a.m., in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences building at the University of Szeged in Hungary. Professor Ivanics’s many friends, colleagues, and students gathered to congratulate her and pay tribute to her professional achievements. The Vice Dean of the faculty, Klára Sándor, Academician András Róna-Tas (in absentia), Professor Sándor Papp, and Professor István Zimonyi spoke in honor of Professor Ivanics. Among these presenters, Professor István Zimonyi, the head of the Department of Altaic Studies and the Department of Medieval History, spoke on behalf of the former department about Ivanics’ academic career and presented the volume Ottomans–Crimea–Jochids: Studies in Honour of Mária Ivanics, in which leading Hungarian and foreign scholars and young researchers published papers dedicated to her. This Festschrift presents various aspects of the development of Turkic culture and languages, Turkic­Hungarian relations (including Ottoman-Hungarian relations), as well as the history and culture of the Ottoman Empire and the Golden Horde. It contains 29 works by scholars from universities in Germany, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Hungary. The collected articles are presented in five languages – English, German, Russian, Hungarian, and Turkish.
