==History== The codex was named after the city of Rohonc, in Western [[Hungary]] (now [[Rechnitz]], [[Austria]]), where it was kept until 1838, when it was donated to the [[Hungarian Academy of Sciences]] by [[Gusztáv Batthyány]], a Hungarian [[count]], together with his entire library. The origin of the codex is unknown. A possible trace of its past may be an entry in the 1743 catalogue of the Batthyánys' Rohonc library, which reads {{lang|hu|"Magyar imádságok, volumen I in 12"}} ("Hungarian prayers in one volume, size [[Book size|duodecimo]]"). Both the size and the assumed content of the volume described fit the codex, but no further information is given in the catalogue, rendering an exact match to the codex impossible.{{sfn|Jerney|1844}}{{page needed|date=June 2024}}{{sfn|Némäti|1892}}
