Loránd Benkő served as editor-in-chief of the journal of the Hungarian Society of Linguistics Magyar Nyelv (The Hungarian Language), from 1953 to his death, that is, for 58 years. During those long years, he worked alone, in a pair, and in an ever-increasing team of editors, respectively. His mentor and first co-editor was Dezső Pais, with whom he also worked together in the Department of Hungarian Linguistics (later, Historical Linguistics) of the Budapest university. Already Pais established a number of conceptional and technical principles for the journal, but Benkő developed these principles further, and even summarised the technical details of the preparation and development of manuscripts in a separate booklet. This paper reviews his periods as an editor, sketches Benkő’s principles and practice of editing a journal both in a professional and in a personal sense, highlighting the achievements that remained in force in the life of the journal even after his death.
