List of old Latin lexicons in Hungary

The list below tries to collect, in chronological order, the major lexicons published in Hungary, but in Latin language, standalone or translated. The lexicons in Hungarian in Hungary are discussed in the article List of Hungarian lexicons. As Latin was the official state language in Hungary both in the Middle Ages and later (until 1844), many works were published in Latin. Some lexicons as well.
