Summary

Seme of the inhabited outskirts given on the basis of the Pfarrtopographie had no names, or they were not rogistrated. In such cases an abridged variant of the circumscribing form occuring in our source is given between round brackets, completed with the name of the area where tht settlement may be located. 3. Legal status: It is marked with the abbreviations of the generally uEed Latin terminology /elvi

tas (city), oppidum (market-town)

, pagus (village), praedium (uninhabited area)/. In Cases where the definition is the same in all sources, there is no reference to the source. If there are different variants, they are listed in chronological order of the sources and the source is referrsd only when its definition is different from the majority. The comprehensive term of "inhabited outskirts" was unknown at the end of the 18th century, therefore, where the sources do not indicate the legal status, that rubric is blank. 4. Grid number: The mark consisting of Roman and Arabic numerals refers to the grid of the map. 5. Ownership, economic and other data: Data on ownership may originate from the population census (n), from the record of the Council of Governors Archives (b Helytartótanácsi Levéltár), or the Archive of the Supreme Court (B Curiai Levéltár), or from Vályi'

s descriptive statistics. The latter one contains only the family names of the owners. To avoid repeating the same surname if the owner's full name is known from other contemporary sources, the code letter of Vályi'

s work 13 listed afcer the full name. The spelling of the personal names follows the instructions included in the 'Regulations of source references of the "Hungarian Diet Records (Magyar országgyűlési emlékek)'". For establishing the form of name getting fixed by the 19th century first of all Iván Nagy: Families of Hungary (Magyarország családai), and secondly Béla Kempelen: Hungarian Noble Families (Magyar nemes családok) served as basis. The letters denoting the source follow this name form accepted in the 19th century. Where the source - instead of listing che names of possessors - give "compossessores"

, or some other circumscription like Vályi: "possessed by severs! owners" (birtokosa több uraság), the original wording of the source has been maintained. If the area consisted a part of a manor it is noted after the name of the owner. As the only source of that information is the owners conscription denoted with "B", here the reference is omitted. Data referring to the existence cf tax collecting-offices (vám- és harmincadhivatal), post stages (postaállomás) and markets (vásár) are included in this column. The fixed dates of the market days are indicated and if they coincide with Church festivals of the Christian calendar there is a reference to it between brackets. In the cases of changing dates - depending mainly on date of Easter (hűsvét) - the original Latin name of the date (Rogate, Laetere) is used. They are explained in the index of abbreviation with circumscriptions in Hungarian according to the Calendar of Diplomatics (Oklevéltan! naptár) by Imre Szentpétery. As data on both offices and markets come from a data collection, the source reference was neglected. Here we can give further information on other complements, for instance, on the industrial establishments of the first military mapping, too. 6-8. Census data on housing, households and population: Re-publication of the figures of source (n). As the origin of the data is unambiguous, there is no reference here to the source. 9. Distribution by religion: 10. Regions of ecclesiastic administration: The two corresponding columns (9-10) - on the basis of conscriptions by religious denominations - give the number of the congregation members and also the regions of ecclesiastic administration. Data on Roman Catholic (rk) and Greek Catholic (gk) churches originate entirely from Pfarrtopographie (p), consequently it was not referred to. Numerical data in the Israelitic denomination are taken from the original sheets of the population census (n), as the source of the data is unambiguous in this case, too, it is not referred to. Data on Greek Orthodox (gkel) and Protestant (ref, ev) denominations may originate from the different sources by counties or regions, but where only one source is available for one denomination, it is mentioned in the Foreword, and later in the volume the source is not referred to. In the case when data prove only the mere existence of a religious denomination, or it may be presumed only, the number of persons is marked with two points. 11. Language: Languages spoken in the individual places are mentioned in the Lexicon Locorum (1), by one of the owners' conscription (b), as well as by Korabinsky and Vályi: these sources are, naturally, referred to. The Latin, German and Hungarian denomination of languages can cause ambiguity in certain cases, therefore, if necessary, the original wording of the source is used, with the exception of Hungarian and German data.
