Tudománytörténet - Makkay János: Who was László forró (S[ándor] Forró) and where did his manuscript disappeared?

Ki volt Forró László (Forró S[ándor]), és hová tűnt a kézirata? ing Avarian Age/Great Migration Period. Almost nothing was completed. Only Samu SzádeczkyKardoss kept his word (SZÁDECZKY-KARDOSS 1992., SZÁDECZKY-KARDOSS 1998.). L. Forró's manuscript was used by András Alföldi in 1938, and it can be suggested that a copy was at his disposal. The disappearance of the work can be connected with the following event: in 1947, when Alföldi stayed in Western Europe before he emigrated from Hungary, somebody broke in his study, scattered his notes, and took part of his manuscripts.
