Extract

Early Hungarian history is so poor in sources of contemporary origin that any work written and any writer living in the early Árpádian age is bound to provide information on the period — the beginnings of the Hungarian Christian kingdom of the Middle Ages. The Venetian-born Benedictine monk, Gerard, who from 1030 to his death in 1046 occupied as its first bishop the see of Csanád, is one of these writers. Gerard is not an historian in the true sense of the term. He is no Gregory of Tours, no Venerable Bede. He was a learned, western-educated ecclesiastic who in his theological writings left many a side remark on his age and on the political and social background of his religious activities in Hungary from the mid-1020s through the mid-1040s. His major theological treatise on the Song of Daniel, his Admonitiones to the heir of King Stephen on the Hungarian throne, and his participation in compiling the legal statutes enacted by Stephen and his council make him, beside the king, the most important historical personage of Hungarian history of the time. His works together with the vita minor and the biography of King Stephen by Bishop Hartvic form a valuable source of historical information. His own life is covered by a short though trustworthy vita composed in the early 1080s.

5 I consider him in some such role for two reasons. One, Gerard, as the intellectual coworker of King Stephen: the king's ‘egghead’ was largely responsible for the formation of Stephen's policy in the 1030s — for instance, through his participation in the royal council; cf. articles III and VII of the Libellus, loc. cit.; Gerard's Vita maior cc. 2–4; Hartvic's Vita Stephani regis Hungariae (ed. Bartoniek, E., SSH II 401–40) c. 14. Gerard also committed to writing the legal enactments of Stephen; the bishop is the sole ‘literator’ mentioned by the record who fits into the role. ‘Quando enim homo Dei de loco ad locum proficiscebatur, non quolibet iumento, sed modico utebatur vehiculo, in quo sedens libros quos ex Spiritus Sancti gratia composuerat, relegebat’ — SSH II 474. The reader may also compare the legal statutes of Stephen with the unfinished major work of Gerard: the legal code of Stephen presents as confused a picture as the bishop's theological treatise. On the Leges , cf. Závodszky, , op. cit. 13, or Monumenta Arpadiana, II 310–24; the AS Sept I 563 version was merely reprinted in PL 151.1243–53. The second reason why Gerard must be considered important is that after Stephen's death he alone continued Stephen's policy; cf. de Kalta, Mark, Gesta Ungarorum (ed. Domanovsky, A., SSH I 239–505) c. 81, or Gerard's Vita maior, cc. 14 etc. Endlicher, St. L., Die Gesetze des hl. Stefan: ein Beitrag zur ungarischen Rechtsgeschichte (Vienna 1849); Horváth, , Stilusproblémák 104.Google Scholar

6 Cf. Stephen's Vita minor (ed. Bartoniek, E., SSH II 393400); Hartvic ibid. II 401–40; text in Monumenta Arpadiana I 154–62, 163–92; text also in MGH SS XI 226–38; Hartvic only in AS Sept I 562–75 as reprinted in PL 151.1207–34. I disagree with Marczali, op. cit., 13, who called Hartvic ‘ein arger Plagiator’; Wattenbach, W., Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen im Mittelalter 2 vols (6th ed. Berlin 1893–94) II 210–11, expressed a similar opinion. Hartvic, as member of the royal household of Coloman the Learned (1096–1116), was bound to be in a position to gain confidential information on the lives of the ruling dynasty (SSH II 402); thus he was in no need of copying down earlier material. On the other hand, he did have to rely on early sources; yet, he changed the information he received, if it became necessary, or added to the text. Cf. Macartney, , op. cit., 165–71; idem, ‘The Hungarian National Chronicle,’ Medievalia et humanistica 16 (1964) 3, where he contradicted some of the earlier observations of Hóman, B., A Szent László-kori Gesta Ungarorum és annak XIIXIII századi leszámazói (The Hungarian National Chronicle during the Reign of Ladislas the Saint and its Continuators in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries) (Budapest 1925) 60–70; idem, Geschichte des ungarischen Mittelalters 2 vols (Berlin 1940–43) I 297–99.Google Scholar

7 Known also as Passio sancti Gerardi (ed. Madzsar, E., SSH II 471–79; named Vita minor of Gerard by Endlicher, , Monumenta Arpadiana I 202–04). The first printed version of this text appeared in Legendae sanctorum regni Hungariae in Lombardica historia non contentae (Strassburg 1484 [or 1487]), a work mentioned by Hain, L., Repertorium bibliographicum 2 vols in 4 (Stuttgart-Tübingen 1826–38, reprinted Milan 1948) n. 9996, printed in seven columns. The second oldest printed version of this text is the Vita beati Ladislai of Poland (Cracow 1511); text also in AS Sept VI 722–25; excerpts of the text were printed by Batthyány, op. cit. 350–61, and starting on page 362, Batthyány printed a sermon by Pelbartus of Temesvár, O.F.M. (1430–1504) on Gerard. On friar Pelbartus, see my article, ‘Pelbartus of Temesvár: a Franciscan Preacher and Writer of the Late Middle Ages of Hungary,’ Vivarium 5 (1967) 100–10. I wish to point out also that both A. Potthast, Bibliotheca historica medii aevi 2 vols. (2nd ed. Berlin 1896) II 1335, and Gombos, , Catalogus, III n. 4985, confused the previous printed editions of Gerard's Vita minor with those of the Vita maior. Pásztor, E., ‘Problemi di datazione della Legenda Maior s. Gerardi,’ Bollettino dell' Istituto Storico per il Medio Evo e Archivio Muratoriano 73 (1961) 113; Macartney, , op. cit. 152–54; Zimmermann, A. M., Kalendarium Benedictinum 4 vols.

The essay by Juhász, C., ‘Die Beziehungen der Vita Gerardi maior zur Vita minor,’ Studien und Mitteilungen zur Geschichte des Benediktiner-Ordens 47 (1929) 129, is weak in this respect. Horváth, , Stilusproblémák 181, made the remark that the Vita minor was originally a sermon prepared sometime in the thirteenth century, because the term ‘microcosmus’ in its fifth chapter was not in use prior to that date. The fact is that the earliest available manuscript of the Vita dates back to the late twelfth century and this manuscript is only a copy ! This is the major trouble with all the medieval Hungarian sources. Thus Horváth's controversy cannot be decisive as, presumably, the late-twelfth-century scribe working on the manuscript simply applied the then fashionable term to the opus. The letter of Fulbert of Chartres to Bonipert, the first bishop of Pécs in Hungary in the time of Gerard (PL 141.189–90), proves established cultural relations between Hungary and the West at such an early date, and I have found no reason to doubt the possibility that the scribe of the late-twelfth-century manuscript that carries the Vita minor of Gerard knew, through cultural exchange, of the work of Bernard Silvestris De universitate mundi; the second book of which is entitled Microcosmus: in secundo libro qui Microcosmus dicitur, id est minor mundus … (Bernardi Silvestris De Mundi universitate libri duo sive Megacosmus et Microcosmus. edd. Barach, C. S. et Wrobel, J. [Innsbruck 1876] 6.34–35).Google Scholar

9 Gerard himself made a statement on his earlier life: ‘Multa legi, multa cucurri. In Spania fui doctus, in Britannia eruditus, in Scotia detritus, in Hybernia studui; omnes liberales disciplinas commendavi memoriae, ideo nil lectionis me effugere potest,’ in Batthyány, , op. cit. 256. Endres, J. A., ‘Studien zur Geschichte der Frühscholastik: Gerard von Csanád,’ Philosophisches Jahrbuch 26 (1913) 349, brought forth the argument that Gerard in his early days might have belonged to the religious community of St. Romuald. The rustic way of living of this group (cf. PL 144.953) would hardly have made any appeal to Gerard's literary mind; see also, Mikkers, E., ‘Eremitical Life in Western Europe during the xi and xii Centuries,’ Citeaux: Commentarii Cistercienses 14 (1963) 44–54.Google Scholar

11 The barons, alias nobles, are the Magyars, while the non-Magyar element is the conquered social stratum of the population, as is evident from the Leges of King Stephen: ‘ut gens nostra monarchiae hujus ab omni incursu et accusatione servorum et ancillarum remota et quieta maneat…’ art. I:20 (art. XIX in the PL version); or, ‘volumus ut firma pax, et unanimitas sit inter majores et minores, secundum apostolum: Omnes unanimes estote…’ art. I:35 (art. XXXIII in PL). The scriptural quotation is 1 Peter 3:8, or Phil. 2:2; incidentally, this accurate Biblical quotation is another proof of the authorship of Gerard as compiler of the Leges because the bishop was notorious for his correct citations. See below, n. 24. As further proof of the twofold nature of Hungarian society in the days of Stephen, I cite two other legal acts, II:9 and II:16 (art. XLIII and L in PL), because it is evident from their text that the king had to protect his low-born officials from the wrath of the barons. ‘Si quis militum judicium a suo comite recte judicatum spernens, ad regem apellaverit, cupiens comitem suum reddere injustum, sit debitor decem pensarum auri suo comiti’; ‘si quis servorum curiae regali vel comitis praeficitur, ejus testimonium inter comites recipiatur….’ Had the royal officials been Magyars, members of the baronial class, they would not have needed extra legal protection. Furthermore, Gerard himself distinguished between Magyars and non-Magyars; as a matter of record, the Csanád bishop held a rather low opinion of the unlearned barons — see Batthyány, , op. cit. 153. It is furthermore clear from the record that the ‘opposition’ consisted of the nobles and not only the members of the royal family: Hartvic, c. 6, reports: ‘… plebs gentilis Christianae fidei iugo colla submittere renuens, cum principibus suis a dominio ipsius se subtrahere moliebatur,’ SSH II 408. After all, the barons did enjoy unlimited liberty between 907, the death of Árpád the Conqueror, and 972, when Duke Geysa came to power. See the report of the Hungarian Carthusian, Anonymus, cc. 47 etc. (ed. Jakubovich, Ae., SSH I 33–117), or even Simon de Keza's Gesta Hungarorum (ed. Domanovszky, A., SSH I 141–94), c. 43. Geysa remained in power only because he made a compromise with the barons; he agreed not to enforce the Christianization of Hungary. In turn, however, Geysa suffered heavy censure from his non-Magyar contemporaries, as, for instance, from Bruno of Querfurt, Vita Adalberti Pragensis, c. 23, MGH SS IV 607, or from Thietmar of Merseburg, Chronicon, ibid., III 826. Also, Hóman, , Ungarisches Mittelalter, I 185–88.Google Scholar

12 The Vita Emerici ducis (ed. Bartoniek, E., SSH II 449–60; text also in Monumenta Arpadiana I 193–201; AS Nov. II/I 487–90; Gombos, , Catalogus, III n. 4975) has no historical value at all — see Macartney, , op. cit. 170. His death was recorded in the Annales Hildesheimenses, a. 1031 MGH SS III 98; also, Hartvic, c. 16; Stephen's decision to withdraw from the government of public affairs was reported by Kalta, c. 69, SSH I 319.Google Scholar

13 The entry in the Annales Hildesheimenses, a. 1030, ‘Counradus imperator cum exercitu fuit in Hungaria,’ MGH SS III 97, is meaningless as the sentence stands all by itself in the text. On the other hand, the additional remark in the Annales Altahenses, a. 1030, explaining that the emperor spent a night at the abbey, might indicate detailed preparations for the attack and render the reason for the thorough German defeat: ‘rediit autem de Hungaria sine militia et in nullo proficiens, ideo quod exercitus fame periclitabatur, et Vienni ab Ungaris capiebatur.’ MGH SS XX 791. That the term ‘Vienni’ actually meant Vienna, Wien, was noted procul dubio by W. v. Giesebrecht, , ibid., XX 791, n. 23. The statements of the Annals are supported by Wipo's Life of Conrad II, c. 26, ibid., XI 268, and Wipo also explained the reasons for the emperor's hostility toward the Hungarians in c. 22. Also, the almost total silence of the German chroniclers on Hungarian affairs in the 1030s, their sudden lack of interest in Hungary as long as the old king was alive, is worth noting. Had there been detailed planning, the German court would not have given up its plans so easily. Cf. ibid., III 98; also, Schnith, K., ‘Recht und Friede: zum Königsgedanken im Umkreise Heinrichs III.,’ Historisches Jahrbuch 81 (1962) 22–34. The article by Gombos, F. A., ‘Szent István háborúja II Konrád császárral (King Stephen's War with the Emperor Conrad II),’ Emlékkönyv Szent István halálának kilencszázadik évfordulóján (Memorial Volumes to the 900th Anniversary of the Death of King Stephen), ed. Serédi, J., 3 vols. (Budapest 1938; cited hereafter SIE) II 107–34, contributed little to the solution of the problem. The interpretation of Hóman, Ungarisches Mittelalter I 247–48, is more convincing.Google Scholar

14 J. Stilting in AS Sept VI 713–22; SSH II 487 reported on Gerard's acting as a tutor to the prince; however, I have found no reference to such tutorial activity in the Vita minor. Rónay, Gy., ‘Szent Gellért,’ Vigilia, Budapest, Dec. 1946, 4750, also doubted whether Gerard had tutored the prince. F. Kühár, ‘Szent Gellért Bakonybélben (The Whereabouts of Gerard at Bakonybél),’ Pannonhalmi Szemle 2 (1927) 305, presents no convincing argument.Google Scholar

15 Cf. Hartvic, c. 13, SSH II 419–20, on Stephen's foreign policy; Balogh, A., ‘Szent István Csehországgal, Németországgal, stb., való kapcsolatai (The Relations of Stephen with Germany, Bohemia, etc.,),’ SIE I 430–61, esp. p. 459, n. 1, stressed the importance of Stephen's correspondence with Abbot Odilo of Cluny, who visited Hungary. Cf. Iotsald's Life of Odilo, I:6, MGH SS XV/2. 813. Among the more distinguished western visitors at Stephen's court one may find Richard, abbot of St. Vannes, whose sojourn in Hungary may have coincided with the arrival of Gerard in 1025. Cf. Ademar Cabannensis Chronicon, c. 65 MGH SS IV 145–46; Sackur, E., Richard Abt von St. Vannes (Breslau 1886) 44–45. Gerard made use of the occasion, and presented the visiting abbot with a writing of his: ‘Libellus de divino patrimonio’; cf. Batthyány, , op. cit., 296; or, Southern, R. W., The Making of the Middle Ages (London 1953) 52–53. 164 on Gerard and Odilo and conditions in Hungary at the time. Gerard's political missions on behalf of his royal master fell between 1025 and 1030, when he became the ordinarius of Csanád; cf. Annales Posonienses, a. 1030, SSH I 125, and his Vita minor, c. 2.

29 SSH II 477–78, and compare with Kalta's account, cc. 81 etc. Here I also wish to call attention to the double date: 1046 or 1047 given as that of Gerard's martyrdom. The sole reason I have found would be the difference in time-reckoning of the times. Gerard lived and died in a region where Byzantine influence, consequently Byzantine time-reckoning prevailed; according to Byzantine time-reckoning, the year began on September 1 (of the ‘previous’ year); cf. Grotefend, H., Zeitrechnung des deutschen Mittelalters und der Neuzeit 2 vols. (Hannover 1891–92) I 17. Grotefend, too, placed Gerard's death in 1047, ibid., II 107, and so did the author of the Annales Posonienses SSH I 125. On the other hand, at the Hungarian royal court the year began with Christmas day — ‘Weihnachtsstil,’ see Grotefend, , op. cit., I 205–06, and by this method of reckoning, Gerard died 24 September 1046; see also, v.
