Samuel Szádeczky-Kardoss and his co-authors spent many years on the written sources on the Avars. Translations and commentaries were published in Hungarian in two volumes. In the published material are mostly narrative sources on the political events. Short geographical reports were omitted. In this paper I focus on three medieval geographical works mentioned the Avars: Anonymous of Ravenna, the Frankish Cosmography and the Ebstorf map. The first and second are contemporary sources (7-8th c.), but the map was constructed in the 13th century. These short sources help to complete and specify our knowledge on the history and medieval historiography of the Avars.

Regino's passage on the Pecheneg-Hungarian conflict is of crucial importance for the early history of the Hungarians. Regino was the first among the Latin authors who recorded the ethnonym Pecinaci. The aim of the paper is to analyse the ethnonym Pecinaci and determine how the information on the Pechenegs could reach Regino. There is a hypothesis among the historians that the information of the Pechenegs came to Regino through Byzantine mediation. But the Byzantine source of Regino is unknown. I suggest that the ethnonym Pecinaci reflects on a Slavic variant with the result of the second palatalization and it is probably not from Byzantine source. The final source of information came from the Hungarians. The information and the form of ethnonym reached Regino via Northern Italy between 900 and 905 (or via the Hungarian-Moravian-Frankish borderland zone). The authenticity of Regino's passage on the Pechenegs and the Pecheneg-Hungarian war were corroborated by Byzantine and Muslim sources.
