The list below tries to collect the major encyclopedias written in the Hungarian language, either independently or in reverse, in chronological order.
(Several alphabetical collections have been published as encyclopedias, and are included in this article.)
Although most encyclopedias appear in alphabetical order, some biographical collections use chronological order, and ecclesiastical hagiographic biographies (Saints' Life) most often publish biographies in the order of each day of the calendar year.
The following lists try to collect the most important lexicons and lexicon-like encyclopedias in the Hungarian language, either independently or in reverse order, according to fields and within chronological order.
