The essay reconstructs the scribal collection of Ragusan literature compiled by Đuro Ferić (1739–1820) and currently scattered across various libraries. It argues that the focus on individual scribes is the best way of understanding Ragusan manuscript culture and of identifying relationships among different manuscript witnesses. Once scribal collections are reconstructed, it is possible to determine to what extent scribes understood their job as involving specific editorial decisions rather than just mechanical copying of the text in front of them. The approach is recommended not just to scholars interested in manuscript culture but to those interested in the larger questions of literary history as well.

Jednym z najczęściej cytowanych i badanych zagadnień w dziedzinie historiografii węgierskiego średniowiecza jest P dictus magister i jego dzieło, Gesta Hungarorum. Przez setki lat wielokrotnie wydawało się, że udało się zidentyfikować autora Gesta Hungarorum. Niestety, nie było tak, ponieważ nie ma zgody co do jego tożsamości aż do dzisiaj. Punktem wyjścia dla niemal wszystkich badaczy było to samo założenie, co oznaczało dwie alternatywy. Po pierwsze, „P” w większości przypadków oznaczało łaciński przyimek „prae”; po drugie, mogła to być pierwsza litera imienia autora (np. Petrus, Paulus czy Pósa). Można powiedzieć, że badania były prowadzone pod kątem tych dwóch hipotez. Swoje badania oparłem na fakcie, że P dictus magister był uczonym, wykształconym człowiekiem średniowiecza, badaczem literatury, ważną postacią, której idee charakteryzował duchowy, biblijny, teologiczny sposób myślenia typowy dla epoki. Wnioskuję, iż Gesta musiały zostać napisane po 1206, a przed 1217 r., kiedy Kalán, biskup Péczu, który moim zdaniem był ich autorem, przyjął znak krzyża (między 1214 i 1217 r.). Widzimy, że Gesta odzwierciedlają ideały krzyżowców. Biskup Kalán musiał posiadać określoną wiedzę, aby napisać takie dzieło, znać pewne miejsca, a jego praca w kancelarii dworskiej oraz stanowiska namiestnika i biskupa Peczu czynią go w pełni nadającym się do tego kandydatem.

One of the most frequently quoted and examined topic of the historiograpy of the Hungarian Middle Ages is P dictus magister and his work, Gesta Hungarorum. Throughout the many hundred years of research, there had been several occasions when the author of the Gesta was thought to be identified. Unfortunately, he was not, as there is no consensus on his identity until this day. The starting point for almost all the experts on the topic was the same, which meant two alternatives. Firstly, that “P” was in most cases supposed to stand for the Latin “prae” preposition, and secondly, that it was the initial letter of the author’s name (eg. Petrus, Paulus, or Pósa). We can say that research was determined by these two hypotheses. I based my research on the fact that P dictus magister was a learned, educated man of the Middle Ages, who was a scholar of literature, a key figure, whose ideas were characterised by spiritual, biblical, theological way of thinking – all of them typical of the age. According to my conclusions, the Gesta must have been written after 1206 and before 1217, when Kalán, the bishop of Pécs, who was the author of the Gesta in my opinion, took the sign of the cross between 1214 and 1217. We can see that the Gesta reflects the crusaders’ ideals. Bishop Kalán must have had the knowledge to write the work, he must have known the places, and his service at the chancellery, as a governor, and as the bishop of Pécs made him absolutely suitable for it.

This targeted stylistic, bibliographical, and archival investigation casts a major light on a relevant portrait of a woman by the Polish painter Olga Boznanska, highlighting its rich exhibition and collection. The recent appearance in a Polish auction of a similar painting by Boznanska leads to the hypothesis that the subject of the painting-whose identity still remains a mystery-is the same in both paintings.
