Félix Somló

Bódog (Felix) Somló[1][2][3][4] (Hungarian: [ˈfeːliks ˈʃomloː]; 1873–1920) was a Hungarian legal scholar of Jewish heritage. Along with Hans Kelsen and Georg Jellinek, he belonged to the range of Austrian Legal Positivists.

He was a professor at the University of Kolozsvár. In 1920, he committed suicide out of disgust at the cession of his university to the Romanian state,[5] an action that had taken place the previous year.[6]
