11th and 13th Century Liturgical Manuscripts (mostly from Zagreb) as Historical Sources

The most important document of Hungarian book of culture in the Arpad Age/1000-1301/ is the Pannonhaima book list of 80 items dating around 1093, more than half of which are liturgical in content. Typically enough, none of these items have been identified with extant copies. However, thanks to the medieval manuscripts, mainly those preserved in Zagreb, research into liturgy and liturgical books in the Arpad Age can also be investigated. These manuscripts are not merely sources of church history but complex historical sources whose significance in the history of culture, palaeography and politics is outstanding
