The Problems of Cataloguing the Manuscript Collections of the Jesuit Scholars in the ELTE University Library

Abstract

The main topics of the paper are the structure of the Hevenesi, Kaprinai and Pray manuscript collections and the challenges of making their proper catalog records with a special regard to the diplomatic part of the collection (the collection of copies of medieval charters). We will describe also how to search easily in the collections and what kind of queries are offered to the users by this specific cataloging method.
