After commemorating two non-Hungarian scholars who studied the first linguistic document of the Hungarian language, 'Halotti beszed' (HB), the author discusses some as yet unresolved passages of that text and of the 'Omagyar Maria-siralom' (OMS). The first issue he considers is the meaning of HB eleve (line 3). The author reappraises the hypothesis first advanced by Janos Sajnovics (1771), who thought that the meaning of that word was elo 'the living', i.e. 'God'. For this suggestion, some passages of the Vulgata, in which God is called vivens/vivus, are relevant. With respect to HB terumteve (line 7) the author proposes, on the basis of some arguments advanced by Lorand Benko, to explain it as teremteto 'he who is created', i.e., 'Adam', so that the term becomes the subject of the sentence. Moving on to OMS, after analysing the four prevailing interpretations of Strophe 7 - lines 17-20 (Syrolmom fuha II zatum ...) - the author explains the en in the phrase en iumhumnok bel bua as Balassi's en, i.e., ime (Lat. 'ecce') or ez 'this', rather than en 'I'' - 'my', intensifier of the possessive suffix -m.

There is not much information about Anna Marcybella Hlebowiczówna Ogińska (1641-12th July 1681) in literarure. It is only known that she came from an influential and wealthy Lithuanian magnate family. She was a daughter of Jerzy Karol Hlebowicz (died 18th April 1669), the Vilnus voivode, and Katarzyna de domo Radziwiłł (died 1674). She had a sister Krystyna Barbara (died 11 September 1695), the wife of Kazimierz Jan Sapieha (ca. 1642-1720), the Vilnus voivode. On 4th February 1663 Marcybella married Marcjan Aleksander Ogiński (1632-26 January 1690), the Troki voivode. Anna’s mother, the aforementioned Katarzyna de domo Radziwiłł, was a staunch Calvinist and in this faith she brought up her daughters. However, both of them converted to Catholicism straight after getting married. Ogińska was considered an ardent convert, characterised by piety and religiousness. Anna was also a generous founder, making numerous Church and secular donations. Two years before her death Marcybella went down with a serious disease. Having received the Last Sacraments, she died in the company of three clergymen on 12 December 1681, aged only forty. Anna was characterized by many virtues, the ones which deserve the most to be mentioned were her sincerity, truthfulness, goodness and respect for her husband and the surrounding people.

The entries made from the end of the 16th century in Church Registers are a proof of how not only the language used to describe for a description of death, but also the mentality of nunnery life were changing in the course of subsequent centuries. Death-related rhetorics applied in the discussed entries was in the beginning strictly informational in nature. The influence of literary conventions of the Baroque caused the entries about the nuns’ deaths to have a more poetic, moderately embellished character. Thus demise was seen as gaining eternal reward for living according to God’s commandments, as an introduction to heavenly feast. The entries dating back to the last decades of the 18th century contain echoes of the search for consolation and a stable spiritual basis in the face of changeable worldly reality. The didactic character of the excerpts from Church Registers from the 19th century places death in the context of the path to sanctity.
