Annales Posonienses 
Summary
The Annales Posonienses or Annals of Pressburg (Hungarian: Pozsonyi Évkönyv) are the only extant early medieval annals written in the Kingdom of Hungary.[1] However, they are rather a collection of notes which, as the historian Carlile Aylmer Macartney emphasizes, "hardly" deserves "the name of annals".[2] The annals contain short records of events occurring between 997 and 1203.[1] They are named after Pressburg (now Bratislava, Slovakia) where the Pray Codex – the manuscript preserving its text – was held at St. Martin's Cathedral until 1813 by the collegiate chapter.[1]
