A Wass család cegei levéltára. (Lappangó középkori oklevelek a nagyszebeni Brukenthal-gyűjteményben. Levéltár-történeti adatok)
The Archive of the Wass de Cege/Țaga Family. (Newly Found Medieval Documents from the Collection of the Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu)

Summary/Abstract: The present study completes the guide to the archival material of the Wass de Cege/Țaga family, published in 2005 (Valentiny Antal–W. Kovács András: A Wass család cegei levéltára [Th e Archive of the Wass de Cege Family], EME, Cluj/Kolozsvár, 2005). We publish here those medieval documents which cannot be found anymore in the above-mentioned family archive (preserved in the collection of documents of the Transylvanian Museum Society – now in the custody of the Cluj Branch of the National Archives of Romania) but have been discovered in the document collection of the Brukenthal National Museum (in series RS – now found in the custody of the Sibiu Branch of the National Archives of Romania). The originals of these documents have been considered perished, however their contents are known mostly from the brief resumes written by the family archivist, András Huszti (†1755) in his registry of the family archives compiled in 1754, and in a few cases from printed sources such as vol. III of the Urkundenbuch zur Geschichte der Deutschen in Siebenbürgen, edited by Franz Zimmermann (1850–1935). Not much is known about the circumstances in which these documents left their original place and ended up in Sibiu; 15 pieces of medieval documents (issued before 1542) from the Wass de Cege/Țaga family archive are still missing. The introductory part of the study presents the circumstances in which the family deposited first, in 1909, only two medieval documents at the Transylvanian Museum Society (Cluj-Napoca), and finally, in 1914, the complete family archive.
