Although some Middle Greek codices were kept in the Bibliotheca Corvina, the scientific treatment of the Byzantine sources started only in the XVIIIth century in our country. The first period of the researchwork is connected with four Jesuit sacristans. The Middle Greek informations of the early Hungarian past — for example emperor Constantine's VII details in 1740 — were introduced to the native historical commom knowledge by Ferenc Borgia Kéri (1702-68). He was the establisher of the Hungarian byzantinology and the only domestic scientist up till now, who wrote a synthesis about the history of the East Roman Empire. These important sources were compared with the national tradition by György Pray (1723-1801). On the other hand István Katona (1732-1811) gave them an inferior role to Anonymus. Ádám Ferenc Kollár (1718-83) was the publisher of the Hungarian chapter from emperor Leo' s VI Tactica. The work was continued after the dissolution of the Jesus Society (1773), but when Pray and Katona died, the first part of the Hungarian byzantinology was finished.
