Abstract

The paper discusses the genre of historical song and the first Hungarian collection of poetry, the main work of Tinódi Sebestyén, Cronica (Kolozsvár/Cluj, 1554), and makes the following claims. 1. The opening parts of one of the dedications of the Cronica and Tinódi’s letter of nobility are the same. 2. Tinódi described the events of his time not until 1552, but until 1553. 3. The first of the two parts of the Cronica does not follow chronological order, because Tinódi also took aspects of space into account for the relative unity of the plot. 4. In the second part of Cronica, the two works A hadnagyoknak tanúság and Sokféle részögösről separate not thematic blocks but countries from each other, namely Israel, the Turkish Empire, and Hungary. 5. In the case of historical songs, it should always be kept in mind that in the period it was customary to distinguish between biblical and nonbiblical stories, as seen by the frequent use of the term “external history” (historia externa) in sermons. 6. Based on the records of the RPHA, it seems that for several authors of the time it was a “taboo” to quote from a real biblical book, so we should also recognise the difference between a biblical story that is based on the Holy Scriptures and one that is “only” based on an apocrypha.
