Abstract
In 1493, the Ostrihom Synod was held. It resulted in the document Constitutiones Synodales Ecclesiae Strigoniensis printed in 1494 in Vienna. However, this print was not available to historians for many centuries. In the middle of the 20th century, two specimens were identified. One defective copy of the print is located in Zagreb, and the other one, the only complete copy, is stored in SNK in Martin. The publisher is Theobald Feger and the printer is Johann Winterburger. The press contains several regulations concerning the area of church life. The printed text contains 37 canons of the synod and liturgical calendar. The presented unique item is a part of the envelope and its bookbinding originates from the 19th century. The owner was the Franciscan order in Bratislava, which owned one of the largest libraries in Hungary. Further research of incunabula connected to the territory of Hungary may reveal more similarly rare documents.
