Takac, Jozsef (Esperantist)

Takach was an Esperantist since 1909, and since 1910 he has been actively working in this direction. In 1913, he spoke out against the activities of another prominent Esperanto of that time, . In 1914 he became secretary of the , after the First World War he became its general secretary, remaining in this post until 1928. Subsequently became an honorary member of this society. In addition, he was a delegate to the World Esperanto Association ( UEA ) and corresponding member ^{[2] [3] [4]} .

For many years, J. Takacs was the editor of various Esperanto periodicals:

• esper. "Panonio" (" Pannonia ") - in the years 1912-1913 ^[5] ,
• “ ” (“Hungarian Esperantist”) - from 1923 to 1926 ^[2] ,
• “ ” (“World Collector”) ^[6] , “ ” (“Hungarian Gazette”) - from 1932 to 1934 ^[2] .

Takac is best known today for its huge collection of Esperanto publications, especially Esperanto periodicals. In 1934, in collaboration with and he published “ ” (“Catalog of Esperanto Press”), which is a serious bibliographic guide to early periodicals in Esperanto . The circle of collectors and bibliographers, rallied around Arpad Mate ( Hungarian Árpád Mathé ) and in the 1990s, was called esper. “Rondo Takács” (“Takacs Circle”) in his honor ^{[7] []} .

In the 1930s, Jozsef Takacs made substantial efforts to rally and organize the philatelic movement of the general and general collection movement within the framework of the Esperanto movement. In the past, there were already various ephemeral societies, clubs and newspapers of collectors in the language of Esperanto. Before the outbreak of World War I, a collectors department was organized at the World Esperanto Association. All this activity subsequently subsided. In January 1932, the World Collectors Association ( Tutmonda Asocio Kolektanta , TAK ) ^{[8] [9]} was founded, and Takacs ^{[2] [7] [10]} became its president .

The association included 140 members in 14 countries. She owned the newspaper “World Collector” ( “Tutmonda Kolektanto” ), which was published in ( Czechoslovakia ). The leading core of the association also included its vice-president ( Vienna ) and treasurer FV Mizera ( FV Mizera ; Jablonne nad Orlici). In 1932–1934, J. Takach edited the World Collector newspaper ^{[2] [7] [10]} , as well as the yearbook of this association ^[11] .

Takacs produced the Pocket Catalog of Esperanto Marks ( “Poŝkatalogon de la Esperantaj por-okazaj glumarkoj” ), which was released in 1934 ^[≡] (with corrections and additions in 1936) ^[≡] .

On May 26, 1946, in memory of the significant contribution of Jozsef Takac to the development of the Hungarian Esperanto movement, he was posthumously elected honorary president of the Hungarian Esperanto Society ^[3] .
