| Tartalmi kivonat: | This paper is a general survey of a script, wich has been reffered to from the 13th century in various Hungarian chronicles as a way of writing carved in wood and used especially by the Székelys in Transylvania. Relatively few relics of this script survived from the time before the 17th century, the oldest of them dates from the middle of the 15th century. Most of the early relics originate from Transylvania, at least in such a way that their authors were certainly of Székely origin. This fact and the records in the chronicles make one believe that this carved script was known only among the Székelys who are a part of the Hungarian ethnicity but their culture in several points of view is different from that of the other groups of Hungarian people. The relics of this script had been written without exeption in Hungarian. Most of the early relics are inscriptions in churches usually indicating the names of the masters who had rebuilt the churches. The longest relic of the Székely runic script is a calendar from the end of the 15th century. The original woodstick. has been lost, only its copy survived in a manuscript made in 1690. The Székely type of runic script spread in a wide range from Transylvania frpm the beginning of the 17th century, after the book Rudimcnta priscae Ilunnorum linguae by Joannis Telegdi had been published. It was meant to be a „schoolbook" to make the Székely runic script well-known and popular. This date coincides with the disapearence of the traditional usage of the script. From that time on the Székely runic script survived just as a curiosity, e.g. as a cryptography. The Székely runic script developed in several phases. Its present system cannot be younger then the end of the 13th century, by which time the system of Székely phonemes developed, which is mirrored in the Székely runic script. There are secondary signs in this alphabet, also letters of Glagolic origin to be- found; two letters are equal with the letters of the Orkhon inscriptions and four signs match with ones of the Yenisei inscriptions. The couple of correspondencies of the Székely and Eastern Turkic runic scripts are even of greater importance then the similarities of the graphemeforms. The Székely runic script cannot be derived immediately from the Eastern Turkic runic script. The connecting link between them will probably be found among the alphabets of the relics written with undeciphered runic systems, recently found in Eastern Europe. For the study of the origin of the Székely runic script, the relics found in the Carpathian Basin are especially valuable. |
