Editing Rohonc Codex (section)

=== 19th Century ===
The codex was studied by Hungarian scholar [[Ferenc Toldy]] around 1840, and later by Pál Hunfalvy and by Austrian [[paleography]] expert Albert Mahl.{{sfn|Némäti|1892|p=17}} [[Josef Jireček]] and his son, [[Konstantin Josef Jireček]], both university professors in [[Prague]], studied 32 pages of the codex in 1884–1885. In 1885, the codex was sent to Bernhard Jülg, a professor at [[Innsbruck University]]. [[Mihály Munkácsy]], the celebrated Hungarian painter, also took the codex with him to [[Paris]] in the years 1890–1892 to study it.{{sfn|Némäti|1892|p=17–18}}

In 1866, Hungarian historian [[Károly Szabó (1824)|Károly Szabó]] (1824–1890) proposed that the codex was a hoax by [[Sámuel Literáti Nemes]] (1796–1842), a [[Transylvania]]n-Hungarian antiquarian, and co-founder of the [[National Széchényi Library]] in Budapest. Nemes is known to have created many historical forgeries (mostly made in the 1830s) which deceived even some of the most renowned Hungarian scholars of the time.{{sfn|Szabó|1866}} Since then, this opinion of forgery has been maintained by mainstream Hungarian scholarship, even though there is no evidence connecting the codex to Nemes specifically.{{sfn|Fejérpataky|1878}}{{sfn|Pintér|1930}}{{sfn|Kelecsényi|1988|p=Chapter 23: The forgeries and Sámuel Literáti Nemes}}{{sfn|Tóth|1899}}{{sfn|Csapodi|1973}}
