Abstract
Books without an author may give rise to several problems in bibliography. I describe three such cases, where Hungarian scholarship supposed Hungarian authors. These authors are Ferenc Weiss, Elek Horányi and Kristóf Akai. In the cases of Weiss and Akai we can clearly tell the real authors, while we can only say that the theses attributed to Horányi were quite likely not written by him, but probably by an Italian piarist professor.
