The publication of the present, fifth volume marks the halfway point in our 10-volume text edition series. The goal of the series was to publish, in a critical edition, the county descriptions from the Notitia of Mátyás Bél (1684–1749), which have been preserved in manuscript form. The five volumes published to date contain 17 county descriptions — Árva and Trencsén in the first volume; Sopron, Vas, Zala and Veszprém in the second; Győr, Komárom and Esztergom in the third; Fejér, Tolna, Somogy and Baranya in the fourth; and Sáros, Zemplén, Ung and Bereg counties in the present volume.

In our 10-volume series, we have undertaken to publish, in a critical edition, with detailed prefaces and content summaries, the county descriptions of Mátyás Bél's (1684–1749) Notitia, which have been preserved in the form of manuscripts. The present volume, the fourth in the series, contains the descriptions of Fejér, Tolna, Somogy and Baranya counties, thus completing the descriptions of the Transdanubian counties. We would like to express our hope that, like the earlier volumes in the series, this volume will also promote local historical research and provide a useful contribution to the work of historians, archaeologists, art historians and other researchers.

In the seventh volume of our textual edition series, we are publishing four texts from among the unpublished manuscripts of the Notitia, the large-scale country survey by Mátyás Bél (1684–1749): the descriptions of  Heves, Csongrád, and Bács-Bodrog counties, along with the description of the districts of Jász and Kun. Since — with the exception of Bács-Bodrog — these former counties and districts were located entirely within the borders of post-Trianon Hungary, it is no surprise that all the descriptions were translated into Hungarian. However, the original Latin text of only one of them, the description of Heves county, has been published — and unfortunately even this edition is somewhat problematic, since an inappropriate manuscript was used for publication.

In Volume 6 of our textual edition series we present four new portions of Matthias Bel’s large-scale encyclopedia of Hungary. The descriptions of Abaúj, Gömör, Torna and Borsod counties were hitherto available in manuscript form only; none of them had ever been published in print with the original Latin text. In terms of the translations, the descriptions of Gömör and Torna counties had earlier been published in Hungarian, while only small sections of the description of Borsod County had been translated, and nothing of Abaúj County. We therefore have every confidence that the current volume will be received with interest by researchers, as well as by the wider professional public: archaeologists, art historians, curators and local historians.

Ferenc Otrokocsi Fóris (1648–1718), the former Reformate clerk, later professor at the Catholic University of Nagyszombat (today: Trnava, Slovakia) has lived an extraordinary life, which included many interesting milestones like: important western studies, Catholic oppression, death sentence, being a galley slave, changing religion, and professorship at the university. In the first part of my paper, we presented Otrokocsi’s path of life emphasizing the newest researches combined with the well-known facts. In the second part of our study, we introduced Otrokocsi’s nearly forgotten, monumental ecclesiastical work, called Historia Ecclesiastica Hungarorum. We introduced this opus’ extant manuscript, which can be found in Vienna and Budapest. In this paper, we examined these manuscripts and declared their connection to each other. Finally – at the last part of our study – we tried to get some attention on the manuscripts’ textual incoherences, which can make the researcher’s life more difficult, if they would like to pursue a deeper research on this work.
