Summary/Abstract: The value of the edition of Laonicus Chalcocondyles by Jenő Darkó has been questioned by some since its publication. Though the majority of scholars expressed their unequivocal appreciation for Darkó’s work, the enthusiasm was not shared by all. The strongest criticism, unprecedented in discussions of this kind, was voiced by none other but his younger compatriot and colleague, Gyula Moravcsik. The argument between the two philologists, which grew more and more heated, gained international publicity due to some papers written in foreign languages. The aim of the present paper is to add some new details to this debate by presenting ten inedited letters of Franz Dölger, the late editor-in-chief of the Byzantini sche Zeitschrift addressed to Moravcsik.
