The term “csízió”, originally referring to a perpetual calendar in verse form, derives from the opening words of medieval feast calendars: “Cisio Janus”. “Cisio” refers to the New Year feast of the Circumcision of the Lord (“circumcisio Domini”), while “Janus” derives from Januarius. The first printed calendar was issued in Nuremberg in 1474 by the celebrated astronomer Regiomontanus, who had also visited the court of King Matthias Corvinus. Published in both Latin and German, it was still conceived as a perpetual calendar. The printer Johann Müller adopted the Latinised name Regiomontanus from his birthplace, Königsberg; the Hungarian form appearing on the title page is a translation of this name. The first Hungarian-language calendar appeared at Kraków between 1545 and 1550. The Hungarian csízió tradition of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries became closely associated with the Landerer press, which after the death of Anna Landerer in 1833 was taken over by József Gyurián and his partner Márton Bagó.
