The various works in which the Hungarians of the Middle Ages
recorded their own origins and early doings are of great value not
only for the history of Hungary and the Magyar people, but also for
the whole of south-eastern Europe. But before they can be safely
used as sources they require much editing and interpretation.
Studies by Hungarian and German scholars of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries are now of course out-dated. Mr Macartney
spent some years going through the documents and all the critical
literature, and here presents the fruits of his work in a short
form containing all that needs to be known for safe and profitable
use of the texts. The present book has as its first part a long
introductory essay on the development of the Hungarian historical
tradition; its second part is an analytical guide to the separate
documents, carrying summarised descriptions of MSS, editions, date,
contents, reliability, relations to other texts, and so on, and
including references to Mr Macartney's own contributions in the
Studies. It is intended for Western students not able to read
Magyar.
