Jegyzetsor

Jegyzetsor is a Hungarian term built from jegyzet ("note" or "annotation") and sor ("series" or "sequence"). In Hungarian publishing and scholarship, it denotes a structured list of notes or annotations that accompany a text. A jegyzetsor may appear as marginal notes, a set of endnotes collected at chapter or section boundaries, or as a separate appendix providing explanations, citations, or cross-references. The form is not fixed; arrangements vary by discipline, publisher, and edition.

In scholarly editions and study materials, the jegyzetsor serves to clarify terms, document sources, and guide readers to related material. It can also function as a concise glossary or a compendium of methodological notes. With the rise of digital texts, a jegyzetsor may be realized as interactive annotations or linked notes that appear when a reader hovers or clicks a term.

The term is primarily used in Hungarian-language contexts; there is no single widely used English equivalent. When translating, editors may render it as "notes series," "annotation series," or simply "notes," depending on the intended function in the text.

Related concepts include footnotes, endnotes, marginalia, and inline annotations.
