A Censored Cupido Manuscript from 1764

Abstract

The study deals with István Gyöngyösi's poem, the Csalárd Cupido, which was copied and censored in 1764 by György Surányi. I examine which one of the main versions of Csalárd Cupido can be found in the manuscript. My next question is what censorship itself means in this case, and I also try to discover the copier's considerations which led to the modification of the poem.
