SOPRON COUNTY

C

1: EFK Hist. I. xx.

2: Historia Comitatus Semproniensis.

3: 79 ff. 325x205 mm.

4: Description of Sopron county.

5: Transcript by an unknown hand. A fair copy of the previous manuscript (B).8 Bél certainly meant to send it to the county authorities for checking, because he made a part of the letter coming from the Chancellary on 5th March 1728 copied, in which the authority ordered him to require data from the county previously. The manuscript supposedly arrived to the county assembly, because there are some remarks in it that refer to a local corrector (on the stemma: [Com]1).9 6:1728-1729.10

D

1: EFK Hist. I. ccc nr. 1.

2: III. Rustinum.

3:13 ff. 330x210 mm.

4: Description of the city of Ruszt.

5: Bél’s own draft in his handwriting. The previous copies of the description lacked the description of the city of Ruszt. This is what Bél wanted to compensate (he also indicated the chapter number, showing where the text is intended to be placed).11 6:1728.12

E

1: EFK Hist. I. ccc nr. 2.

2: III. Rustinum.

3:14 ff. 330x210 mm.

4: Description of the city of Ruszt.

5: Transcript by an unknown hand. A fair copy of the previous manuscript (D).13 Bél sent it to the council of Ruszt city for correction and revision: this is what the text on the page preceding the title page refers to.14 Somebody revised and corrected the manuscript (on the stemma: [Ru]), but Bél took only one correction into consideration and even that in a later copy (G).15 6:1728-1729.

8 Ibid. 237.

9 Ibid. 244-247. The mentioned part of the letter was copied on other descriptions as well, as intended pressure by Bél, e.g. on the transcripts of Békés’ and Csanád’s descriptions. See Tóth 2007a II. 273,282-283.
