Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli in 1686 found a wooden staff with incisions in the Old Hungarian script, which he identified as "the language of the descendants of the Scyths".
His copy of the inscription is preserved in University Library of Bologna as MSS.MARSILI MS.54. The staff measured 1.5 m in length with a diameter of 2.5 cm. The inscription consists of 671 signs. It is a calendar of Name Days of the Székelys, in all probability dating to the 13th century.
