HOLLER LÁSZLÓ „Ki miatt ördögök szörnyűiének és csodálkodván úgy szóidnak” Kronológia és szövegrekonstrukció: a 120 éve felfedezett Königsbergi Szalagok alapkérdéseiről Zolnai Gyula (1862-1949) és Benkő Loránd (1921-2011) munkássága előtt tisztelegve The subjects of the present study are the earliest surviving Hungarian texts from the 12-13th centuries, especially the so-called Königsberg Ribands: four small parchment fragments with barely legible texts on both sides of them. They were discovered 120 years ago in the binding of the same codex containing the Königsberg Fragment as its flyleaf. The key findings of the study are as follows:- The Königsberg Fragment fluidly connecting to the text on the backside of the Königsberg Ribands (subchapters 2.3.-2.4.);- The orthographic features of the front- vs. backside of the Königsberg Ribands are significantly different, i.e. they are copies of texts composed at different times (subchapter 3.1.);- The name given by the author based on the subject for the text of the front side of the Königsberg Ribands is Old Hungarian Annunciation (Ómagyar Angyali Üdvözlet), while the back side of the Ribands and the Königsberg Fragment is entitled Miracle of the Virgin Mary (Szűz Mária Csodája). The chronology of the earliest Hungarian texts is discussed in subchapters 3.4. - 3.5. The results, using new methods, are the following: Funeral Sermon and Prayer 2nd half of the 12th century, probably 1160-1185 Old Hungarian Lament of the Virgin Mary Iя half of the 13th century, probably 1200-1225 Miracle of the Virgin Mary 3rd quarter of the 13th century Old Hungarian Annunciation 4th quarter of the 13th century A division of the „Old Hungarian Age” in the history of Hungarian Language for periods is offered by the author in subchapter 3.7.; these are named according to the different types of records surviving from that period. The author’s new reconstruction of the continuous part of the Old Hungarian Annunciation is provided in chapter 6., while of the Miracle of the Virgin Mary is reconstructed in chapter 7., including the transcription, the hypo-Nyelvtudományi Közlemények 109. 267-336.
