There are negligible authentic remnants from the early periods of the Hungarian language, because the significant part of the charters did not survive the ages in their original form. However, if an appropriate method is applied to the research of these interpolated charters, it is possible to enrich the field of historical linguistics with valuable new sources. St. Stephen’s donation charter of the episcopate of Veszprém from 1009 survived only in an interpolated form, however, if the remnants are categorized with linguistic analysis in a proper chronological layer, the original charter’s corpus of remnants is possible to be reconstructed by the comparison of transcriptions. The main focus of the paper is the reconstruction of the corpus of remnants of the lost but original charter of St. Stephen, as well as to analyze the reconstructed data from a morphological, phonemic, and historical orthographic point of view.
