Among the subsequent publications, we only mention here A Knauz-hagyaték kódextöredékei és az esztergomi egyház középkori könyvtárának sorsa (Budapest 1979: the fragments of the Knauzheritage and the fate of the medieval library of the Church of Esztergom); Az esztergomi Collegium Christi és könyvtára aXIV-XVI. században (in Magyar Könyvszemle 99 [1983]: The Collegium Christi and library of Esztergom
