In connection with recent editions of codices, it has repeatedly been suspected that, in some cases, what György Volf had determined in 'Nyelvemléktár' (A collection of early Hungarian documents) as the same scriptor's hand actually involves several different hands. Such paleographic suspicion can be supported or refuted by linguistic methods. These are: the practice of the hand under scrutiny in the application of phoneme-grapheme correspondences or in end-of-word division marks, the types of text organisation, dialectal features, and types of errors committed. In the course of one such investigation it turned out that one of the hands of the Gömöry Codex shows clear similarity with Lea Ráskay's practice and it also became evident that the two copiers must have worked on the same codex in several cases. The similarity of linguistic solutions and of the overall appearance of the texts suggests a shared tradition: that of the scriptors' workshop in the Rabbits' Isle. The paper draws the 'mosaic portrait' of three scriptors of that workshop.

This article is an interpretation of the inscription on one of the two precious gilded plaquettes, found on an archeological site of a Slavic settlement from before the Great Moravia period, located near the village of Bojná, Slovakia. The article is a reaction to P. Žigo’s interpretation of the inscription, which takes it as an abbreviation of the 1st verse of the 24th Psalm of David. Faced with another close reading accompanied by notes on historical grammar and paleography, such an interpretation becomes questionable. The text of the inscription does not have the same word order as the version of the psalm the Psalterium Sinaiticum manuscript. Moreover, Žigo fails to read correctly a preposition located here at the beginning of the 1st verse. Notes on historical grammar focus on the incorrect grammatical form used to convey a directional meaning. Two major paleographical problems of Žigo’s interpretation concern the characteristics of two reportedly Glagolitic graphemes. After taking these objective reservations into account, Žigo’s interpretation cannot be accepted.
