Sámuel Literáti Nemes (1796–1842), Transylvanian-Hungarian antiquarian, infamous for many forgeries which even deceived some of the most renowned Hungarian scholars of the time.[1]
Some Hungarian scholars suspect him to be involved in the forgery of Codex Rohonczi. This opinion goes back as far as 1866, to Károly Szabó (1824-1890), Hungarian historian.
