Catalogue of the Arabic Manuscripts in the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
The Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences ‒ established in 1826 ‒ houses many small and still hidden collections. One of these, the most comprehensive Hungarian collection of Arabic manuscripts, is brought to light by the present catalogue. These codices are described for the first time in a detailed and systematic way. A substantial part of the manuscripts is either dated to or preserved from the 150 year period of Ottoman occupation in Hungary. The highlights of the collection are from the Mamluk era, and the manuscripts as a whole present a clear picture of the curriculum of Islamic education. The descriptions also give an overview of the many additional Turkish and Persian texts thereby adding to our knowledge about the history of these volumes.
Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
The Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences was established in 1826. Its collection of Persian manuscripts is the most comprehensive set of its kind in Hungary. The volumes were produced in four major cultural centres of the Persianate world, the Ottoman Empire, Iran, Central Asia and India during a span of time that extends from the 14th to the 19th century. Collected mainly by enthusiastic private collectors and acknowledged scholars the manuscripts have preserved several unique texts or otherwise interesting copies of well-known works. Though the bulk of the collection has been part of Library holdings for almost a century, the present volume is the first one to describe these manuscripts in a detailed and systematic way.

Guide to Documents and Manuscripts in Great Britain Relating to the Kingdom of Hungary from the Earliest Times to 1800
The result of a research project undertaken during 1990-91 at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, U. of London, the Guide systematically records the locations and content of manuscript materials in Great Britain relating to the Kingdom of Hungary from the earliest times to 1800. The main focus is the manuscript collections in the Public Record Office and the British Library. The repositories are arranged in alphabetical order according to city. Within each repository the different classes of papers and collections are arranged in alpha-numerical order. A brief description is given of each manuscript or class and the items follow each other in chronological order. Conditions of access to the original papers, and the address of each repository concerned, are given beneath the heading of each library, archive, and institution.
