The Legend of Saint Margaret tells the life and miraculous deeds of Saint Margaret of the House of Árpád (1242–1270), daughter of Béla IV of Hungary. The codex was copied in 1510, by the most famous Hungarian codex copyist, nun Lea Ráskay, in the Dominican monastery of today’s Margaret Island where also Saint Margaret had lived. This codex of Hungarian topic and sources entered National Széchényi Library in 1836, as part of the collection of Miklós Jankovich.
