Horvath
MICHAEL (hor'vät), a Hungarian historian; born in Szentes, Oct. 20, 1809. In 1844 he became Professor of the Hungarian Language and Literature in Vienna, and later Bishop of Csanad. He took an active part in the revolutionary war, holding the appointment of minister of "culture" and public instruction. The defeat of the Hungarians drove him into exile. In his absence he was condemned to death, but was allowed to return home under the amnesty of 1867. Of several historical works which he wrote three deserve special mention: "History of Hungary to HOSKINS 1823," and its continuations, "Twentyfive Years of Hungarian History, 1823- 1848," and "History of the War of Independence in Hungary." He died in 1878. HOSANNA (hō-zan'ä), a form of Jewish acclamatory prayer or blessing, derived originally from Ps. cxviii:25. It was often uttered at the Feast of Tabernacles, when the 25th and 26th verses of Psalm cxviii. were repeated. It therefore came to be used for the branches of myrtle, etc., or for the great palm leaves, carried about at the festival, or even for the festival itself. Also the acclamation raised by "the whole multitude of the disciples" (Luke xix: 37) on our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It is now employed as an acclamation of praise. HOSEA (hō-zē-ä), the first of the 12 minor prophets as arranged in the Bible.
He prophesied for a long time from Uzziah to Hezekiah, about 785-725 в. c.
