Representation of Maghrebian Toponyms on Hungarian Globes (19th to 20th century)

This study explores the representation of Maghrebian toponyms on Hungarian globes spanning the early 19th to the late 20th centuries. The primary sources for this study are Hungarian globes, which act as invaluable historical cartographic artifacts. The dataset comprises toponyms written in diverse forms, including their correct new spelling and Hungarian pronunciation as well as variations in orthography, former naming, diacritics, and adaptations. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this research strives to shed light on the evolution of Maghrebian toponyms on Hungarian globes and the broader implications for cartography and linguistics by studying their manifestation on different maps and globes from various periods. This analysis will also assess variations in toponym forms and spelling, examining the variants used in different periods. This includes investigating concordance patterns, identifying linguistic features specific to Maghrebian toponyms, and tracking changes in their forms over time.
