Since 1900 no one has submitted the text to a deeper analysis, and nor has the evidence contained therein been interpreted and explained. Accordingly, the second part of the present volume presents the edition not only of the visitation but also of the entire volume of which it forms one part. 1350 Lásd Madas E.: írás, könyv 80-81. (in the works listed in the bibliography). The first part of the work thus concentrates on the earliest and longest (72 out of 136 pages) section of the manuscript, the so-called 1397 canonical visitation. The inquiry has basically sought answer to two questions: when and of what parts was the text compiled. In order to achive this goal, and also to gain a more complex view, I have not tried to address these two questions directly, but have rather explored the text according to the various topics touched upon by the visitation. The second section presents the remaing folios with entries (25 pages) of the text, which have hitherto evaded scholarly attention, and also offers their analysis. Needless to say, the present volume by no means claims to have solved all the hitherto unexplored problematic issues raised by the visitation. The second part of the work contains the text of entire volume, that is, not only the register of the canonical visitation incompletely published by Kollányi in 1900, but also the texts which had been added to it, both in the front and at the end, partly on pages additionally bound into the volume, in accordance with the principles of modern source editing (The contents of the volume including the register of canonical visitation - oath samples, visitation, regulations, statutes, charters). However strange it may seem, to this very day no one has offerred a full description of the volume that contains the text of the canonical visitation. Nor has been ever explored the complete material included in the volume, despite the fact that it contains not only the famous canonical visitation but also a number of various other texts from different periods, such as oath samples, regulations, archiepiscopal and chapter statutes, charters. Since Kollányi did not even refer to their existence, the publication of these seemed unavoidable. These two parts together will hopefully form into a meaningful unit whatever I have discovered through the prosopographical and archontological research of the late medieval chapter of Esztergom. As such, it would also serve as a solid foundation for new research into ecclesiastical history. The third major part of the book is divided into four sections. The first contains the additions and corrections to my archontology of Esztergom that have been revealed by sources consulted since the publication of that book. The second section explains the abbreviations of the primary and secondary literature referred to in the book, the third contains an English summary, and the fourth is the index of personal and geographical names.
