Old Hungarian 'Lamentations of Mary'
- Old Hungarian 'Lamentations of Mary'
The Old Hungarian 'Lamentations of Mary' (OHLM) ( _hu. Ómagyar Mária-siralom) is the oldest extant Hungarian poem, copied in about 1300 into a Latin codex, similarly to the first coherent written Hungarian text ("Halotti beszéd"; Funeral Oration), which was written down between 1192 and 1195. Its text is a translation or adaptation of a version of the poem or rather sequence beginning "Planctus ante nescia..." that was quite widespread in medieval Europe. The interpretation of OHLM has been a well-discussed topic in Hungarian philology; nevertheless, the explanation of a few words and phrases in it is still unsettled. Pais Dezső's interpretation is given there (obviously relying on earlier relevant results, too.)
