Vizsla, Hungarian Dog – Its origin is uncertain. There are written mentions from the 16th century, but detailed descriptions exist only from the beginning of the 20th century. It is possible that this dog evolved from the ancient Hungarian kopó hound. Today’s m  odern form was gained only in the 19th century by the introduction of foreign species. There are two variations: the smooth, or flat haired and the wire-haired Vizsla. The smooth-haired is different from every other Vizsla with its dark yellowish color but mainly because of its diversified usefulness. Withers height for bitches is 53-60 cm, for the male-dog it is 57-64 cm. Head is noble and lanky; stop line is moderate. Its eyes are alert, intelligent, and a shade darker than the hair; ears are thin-skinned and a rounded V-shape. The back is straight, the breast is round and well muscled; the chest is deep, and its stomach is slightly pulled-up. The tail, sometimes docked, is positioned horizontally while in motion. The skin is tight, not folded. Hair is thick, sits close and is shiny and monochrome. Movements are quick and elegantly graceful; temperament is lively, but restrained. It accepts directions well, and is docile. It can be used in every type of hunting. It bears up calmly and readily to wild animals and works willingly on wetlands; its blood-hounding work is excellent. Longer haired progenies that were brought forth when flat haired litters were mated with the German Vizslas during the 1930s, and thus the Hungarian wire-haired Vizsla developed. Although it is slightly more resistant and harder to handle, it still possesses qualities that are similar to the smooth haired Vizsla. The Hungarian or Magyar Vizsla is an elite sporting dog, and the smallest of the pointer-retriever breeds, a natural hunter with an excellent nose and an outstanding trainability. The Vizsla is lively, gentle mannered, affectionate and sensitive, and also fearless, possessed of an excellent protective instinct. Through the centuries the Vizsla has held a unique position as a sporting dog, household companion and family dog. – B: 1020, 1031, T: 7675.→Komondor; Kopó; Puli; Pumi.
Vizsoly Bible→Károli Bible. Vízváry, Mariska (Mary) (Viszkidenszky) (Budapest, 27 May 1877 - Budapest, 9 January 1954) – Actress. She was a descendant of an old acting dynasty. Already as a child, she was on stage several times and, after completing her studies at the Academy of Dramatic Art, she was engaged by the National Theater (Nemzeti Színház), Budapest, in 1896, where she remained a member until her death. In 1928, she had became a life member there. Her career was inexplicably disregarded. At first, she played ingénue roles, without much success; then she attempted tragic roles, but her real talent showed itself in comic roles. In 1935 she retired from the National Theater and appeared in private theaters. Between 1935 and 1937, she played at the Inner City Theater (Belvárosi Színház); from 1938 to 1940 at the Pest and the Comedy Theaters (Pesti and Vígszínház); in 1942 at the New Hungarian Theater (Új Magyar Színház); in 1945 at the Buda Theater (Budai Színház); in 1946 at the Inner City and the Metropolitan Operetta Theaters (Belvárosi Színház, Operett Színház), and in 1947, at the Madách Theater (Madách Színház). She played for the last time at the Artist Theater (Művész Színház) in 1949. She also appeared in several films with considerable success. Her roles included Berengere in Sardou’s Odette; Mrs. Sotenville in Molière’s George Dandin; Martha in Goethe’s Faust; Mrs. Solness in Ibsen’s The Master Builder (Solness épitőmester), and Voinicka in Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya (Ványa bácsi). She authored one play: Flash in the Pan (Szalmaláng), and a cookbook: Mariska Vízváry’s Cookbook (Vízváry Mariska szakácskönyve). – B: 1445, T: 7456. Vlach Bible – The appellation of the New Testament translated into Romanian and put in print, as ordered and financed by the Prince of Transylvania, György (George) Rákóczi II (1648-1660) in 1648. A monk called Sylvester translated it from the Greek, Jewish and Slavonic languages. Since he died before its publication, his translation was published by the Archbishop of Belgrade, István (Stefan) Simon and several others. Its complete title is: Noul testament, sau impacarea, au leagea noauo alui Is. Xs. Domnului nostrum. Izvodit cu mare socotinta den izvoda grecescu si slovenescu, pre limba rumaneascaa, cu indemnarea si porunca, denpreuna cu toataa cheltuiala a Marii Sale Gheorghie Rakoti, craiol Ardealului. Typaritusau intru a Marii Sale typografie, denteiu niou, in Ardeal, in cetatea Belgradului, anii dela itruparea Domnului si Mantuitorului nostrum Is Xs, 1648, luna lui Ghenuariu 20. (“The New Testament, that is the Reconciliation or the New Law of our Lord Jesus Christ, was translated with great care from Greek and Serbian into the Vlach language on the initiation, order and expense of His Excellency, George Rákóczi, Reigning Prince of Transylvania. It was printed in the press of His Excellency at Alba Iulia on the Commemoration of the Incarnation of Our Lord and Savior, on 20 January of the year 1648”). – B: 0945, T: 7456.→Vlach Cathechism. Vlach Catechism Vlachs, The (or Wlachs, Wallachians, Vallachians, Walla, Wallachs, Vlahs, Olahs or Ulahs, Romanians) – A general term covering several modern Latinized populations in the Balkans. Vlachs (Romanians) originate from the Balkans. Historic and linguistic evidence shows that the Vlachs came from the center of the Balkan Peninsula, from the environs of Lake Ochrida, east of Albania, from where they kept migrating slowly and steadily for prolonged periods to the northeast, due to their pastoral lifestyle, until they settled in the southern and eastern slopes of the Carpathians. They are considered to be the descendants of Romanized Thracians and Illyrians. During the Vlach migrations, they absorbed a considerable number of Slavic (south Slavic) elements in their language, classified by linguists as an East Romance tongue. Since the Romance languages are considered to have evolved from Vulgar Latin during the 5th to 9th centuries, they could not have been in existence at the time of the Roman evacuation of Dacia (including Transylvania) in the 3rd century. Therefore, the language of the Vlachs could not have been formed in the isolated location of Transylvania. In more recent times the Vlachs called themselves Rumun (Rumuny), and from the mid-19th century Roumanians-Rumanians-Romanians. In 1878, at the Conference of Berlin, the Foreign Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Hungarian Count Gyula (Julius) Andrássy suggested that Wallachia should receive the name Roumania, which was accepted. During the 12th-14th centuries, Transylvania was also inhabited by the Turkish Blaks (Bulaks, Blakos), not to be confused with Vlachs (Wallachs, Wlachs) according to L. Rásonyi (1982) and G. Bodor (1976), corresponding to the Hungarian chronicler Anonymus’s ethnic name Blacus (in plural Blachi or Blacci). Roger Bacon, about 1280, also mentions Blacia (the blako people). E.R. Roesler (1871) was the first to criticize the hypothesis of the Daco-Roman continuity (much earlier F.J. Sulzer, in 1781, did the same), maintaining that the Romanians with their Romance tongue are a relatively recent “importation” from the Balkans, from nearby Albania. He was supported, among others, by the Hungarian linguist, ethnographer and historian, P. Hunfalvy, in his book on the history of the Vlachs (Romanians) in Transylvania (1894). Roesler’s criticism of the Daco-Roman continuity hypothesis was in turn criticized by Johann H. Jung of Innsbruck, and the Romanian writers, like: J.L. Pic, B.P. Hasdeu, D. Onciul, A.D. Xenopol, C.C. Giurescu, and others. On the other hand, the Hungarian scholars have opposed the hypothesis on archeological and historic grounds [first documented appearance of Vlachs (Romanians) in Transylvania is dated 1222, as shepherds in the mountains at that stage, and the first extant text in Romanian is a letter from 1521], also on a linguistic basis, contending that the hypothesis is scientifically untenable. Andre Du Nay (1977) follows the same line of thought, developed also on linguistic grounds. Linguist and orientalist L. Kazár (1983) pointed out that (1) neither in Rome, nor in Byzantium are there any records in existence concerning the Christianization of the Daco-Roman people; (2) the Vlachs were placed under the rule of the Archbishopric of Ochrida (near Albania) by the Byzantine Emperor Basil II (Basilios, “the Bulgar-slayer”), because, after protracted campaigns, he had totally destroyed the West Bulgarian Empire and their Vlach allies by 1018; the Transylvanian Wallachians as a result belonged to this Eastern Church rite until 1715, and the Vlach priests did not use the Latin script but the Cyrillic script up to the middle of the 19th century; (3) the 19th century vocabulary of the Romanian language was composed of 31% Latin, 45,7% Slavic, 8,4% Turkish, 7% Greek, 6% Magyar, and 0,6% Albanian, and no Dacian – according to A. de Cihac, a Romanian linguist; (4) there is no evidence of borrowings from the culturally advanced Goths and Gepids, who settled in Transylvania after the Roman withdrawal; (5) There are no archeological proofs (artifacts, utensils, ruins, cemeteries) that Daco-Romans lived in Transylvania after the Roman evacuation in ca. AD. 270; (6) The Regestrum Varadiense of the Bishopric of Nagyvárad (now Oradea) records, in the eastern part of the Hungarian Kingdom, about 600 place names and 2500 personal names without any such names being of Romanian origin, and beside the large majority of Hungarian names, there are also German, Walloon, Ruthenian and Ishmaelite names, while Romanian names start occurring only centuries later in Hungarian documents; (7) there are numerous, conspicuously common characteristics between the Albanian and the Romanian languages; (8) the settlement history of Transylvania shows (following I. Kniezsa, 1938, and others) that, up to the end of the 12th century, out of 511 well-established place names, only three are of Vlach origin; (9) King István I (Saint Stephen) of Hungary (997-1038) adopted Western Christianity for his kingdom (including Transylvania, AD 1004), with the Latin language and script, whereas the Greek Orthodox Christianity, with its Cyrillic alphabet, was regarded as heretical; (10) in Vlach/Romanian church services, the language of ritual was Slavic up to the 19th century; (11) assuming that the Vlachs converted to Christianity in the 4th or 5th century, there should be widespread occurrences of religious symbols, like inscriptions and epitaphs in Transylvania (Dacia), which in other Roman provinces never fail to occur; (12) during the Roman rule of 166 years, the soldiers and settlers were not drawn from Italy but from other provinces, whose language was not Latin; (13) in Transylvania there are no river, brook or creek names of Daco-Romanian origin (stated by I. Kniezsa, 1938 as well), these names are mostly Hungarian or Slavic in origin, and the Romanians simply adopted them; this fact also indicates that the Vlachs/Romanians arrived by infiltration or immigration after the Carpathian settlement by the Magyars, under the Hungarian Leader/Khagan Árpád (895) and also after the Germanic tribes. In order to escape the harsh rule of their own chieftains, Vlachs gradually infiltrated from the southern and eastern slopes of the Carpathians into the Hungarian-ruled Transylvania. Their number grew steadily: in the 14th century there were only 389 Vlach villages in Transylvania; in 1874, the Vlach population had increased to 787,000, and finally, they claimed Translyvania for themselves as their original homeland on the basis of their mythical Daco-Roman hypothesis. This has been successfully disseminated on international level and, in some cases, Western historians has adopted it. The Daco-Roman theory received great political significance before and after the Versailles-Trianon Peace Treaty (1920), as Romanian nationalists found the theory very useful in stressing their “historic rights” to the possession of Transylvania. Most recent findings of Etruscan-Hungarian language research suggest that the so-called proto-Magyars were in possession of the Carpathian Basin around BC 3000, well before the beginning of the Roman Empire. – B: 1068, 1075, 1240, 1285, 1582, 1763, T: 3233, 7103, 7456.® Dacia; Daco-Roman Continuity, Theory of; “Divide et Impera”; Árpád; Etruscan-Hungarian Linguistic Relationship; Wallachia; Trianon Peace Treaty; Paris Peace Treaty. Vladár, Gábor (Gabriel) (1881 - 19 July, 1972) – Ecclesiastical lawyer and Lutheran church district supervisor. From 1929 he was head of the preparatory committee for certain laws to be enacted at the Department of Justice; he prevented the handing-over of convicted Jews to the gendarmerie. Under the Lakatos Government, when the Minister of Justice was preparing to pull Hungary out of the war as the unwilling satellite of Germany, Vladár was involved in the preparation and, therefore, he had to flee, when the Arrow-Cross Government took over the power on German insistance. In 1945, after the Communist take-over, he withdrew from public life. In 1947 he became the supervisor of the Lutheran Bánya Church District, and participated in the negotiations with the Communist government. He was soon forced into retirement. In 1950 he was deprived of his pension. He had to work in the forest of Hűvösvölgy, in the vicinity of Budapest. In 1951 he was relocated to Tomor, near Miskolc and, in 1953, he had to settle in Bia, near Budapest. How he spent the last 20-plus years of his life, and the circumstances of his death, are unknown. Up to 1950, he was a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences; then, yielding to political pressure, he became a consulting member. The Corvin Society made him its laureate member, and he was President of the State Judicial and Attorney Association. He wrote his autobiography in the last years of his life, entitled Recollections, with a Bibliography of his Scientific Works (Visszaemlékezések, tudományos munkáinak jegyzékével). In 1942 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Debrecen. – B: 1050, T: 7456. Vofkori, László (Ladislas) (Brassó, now Braşov, Romania, 3 March, 1944 -) – Teacher.

In 1927 he prepared his first stage and costume designs for the Metropolitan Operetta Theater (Fővárosi Operett Színház), the Artist Theater (Művész Színház), and the Hungarian Theater (Magyar Színház). From 1930, he was engaged as a designer for classical and modern operettas and musical entertainment plays in the King Theater (Király Színház) and the Municipal Theater (Fővárosi Színház).
