Dezső Csallány is an archaeologist and archaeologist. He was the director of the Somogy Library and the City Museum in Szeged between 1936 and 1944, and managed the András Jósa Museum in Nyíregyháza from 1954 to 1972. He has published several articles in Hungarian and German on archeological finds from the Avar period and the migration period. In 1963 he published his summary study entitled Memories of Szekler-Hungarian runic writing, which was published in small numbers in the yearbook of the András Jósa Museum in Nyíregyháza. Those interested in runic writing could only get it at an antique book auction at an astronomical price. The book is a worthy continuation of previous major monographs on runic writing: Gyula Sebestyén: Runic and runic writing. Gyula Sebestyén: Authentic memories of Hungarian runic writing. Gyula Németh: The Hungarian runic writing. Emil Jakubovics: The oldest alphabets of Szekler runic writing. In Dezső Csallány's book, he presents 33 significant, shorter and longer runic memoirs with an authentic picture of the memories. In each case, he describes the history of the creation and discovery of the runic memoir, presents in detail the results of a previous examination of the memoir, and gives the correct reading in his opinion. The memoirs presented and analyzed are the following: 1. Christmas runic inscription, 2. Székelyderzs runic series, 3. Nikolsburg alphabet, 4. Marsigli runic calendar, 5. Bögözi inscription, 6. Csíkszentmárton runic inscription, 7. Csíkszentmihályi inscription, 8. Konstantin 9. The notes of István Szamosközi, 10. The Rudiment of János Telegdi, 11.
