The earliest codex of Hungarian language describes the life of Saint Francis and his companions with a series of legends. It was probably copied around the 1440s with a text originating from the last quarter of the 14th century. In 1925, National Széchényi Library purchased the book that at that time bore the name of its discoverer (Ehrenfeld Codex) and was later renamed to commemorate the centenary of the birth of writer Mór Jókai.

Digital Treasury is the e-publication series of National Széchényi Library that contains the full digital copies of the most valuable items of its own and occasionally of other collections of old books, manuscripts, periodicals, maps, small prints, posters, audio materials etc. The series is edited by the Hungarian Electronic Library Department with the cooperation of experts at NSZL. We publish the copies in two versions: medium quality for quick use and premium quality for detailed research.
