During copying, the mode of text multiplication before the age of the printing press, scribes often made various mistakes that were then emended either immediately or upon a subsequent reading of what they had written. Such slips of the pen can be seen as the written-language equivalents of disfluency phenomena that, however, raise specific problems due to their historical nature. In the same way as psycholinguistic research uses spoken patterns of disfluency to draw conclusions pertaining to mental processes of the speech production mechanism, errors and corrections from the Old Hungarian period reveal the grammatical and linguistic awareness of the scribes, including its less obvious aspects or layers, in a historical perspective. This paper analyses this particular problem area of historical-scribal disfluency phenomena, trying to approach them - on the basis of the author's experiences with the publication of old manuscripts - from two directions: by presenting the errors committed by a 16th-century scribe (Marta Sovenyhazi) and by discussing some typical phenomena occurring in emendations found in the codices she had copied.

This paper is a continuation of Gábor Sarbak's article titled 'An early16th-century Hungarian record int he National Library of Bavaria'. As a first attempt to analyse the Munich Heritage, discovered in the National Library of Bavaria, it tries to find answers to the following questions. In the case of paired texts, the author tries to find out how the variants are related to one another, as well as to other variants found in Hungarian codices; and whether the former can be shown to follow the pattern of some of the latter. (In the case of single-variant prayers, it is obviously only the second point that can be investigated.) With respect to the language teaching material, what is at issue is its relation to similar materials known so far. The thorniest issue, however, is what the texts reveal with respect to the circumstances among which the language record came into being and its aims. A special merit of this text is that features of written vs. spoken language can be studied with the help of the variant prayers.
