Apparently I sometimes have trouble reading English as well.  ;-)
 
I'll try to get the info updated soon.

 It's there in English, too:
 
 "In 1862, the Hungarian author Jókai Mór, under the pen name Kakas
 Márton, reported in the July 6 issue of the popular weekly magazine
 Vasárnapi Ujság [Sunday News] the discovery of what he believed to be
 the earliest known Hungarian cookbook, a short manuscript recorded at
 the Thököly court in Késmárk (now Kežmarok, Slovakia) in 1601. ...
 
 Magiar étkeknec főzése
 Thököli Sebestyén Uram ő Nagysága Szakácha Szent Benedeki
 Mihály által 1601, X. Augusti Késmárckon.
 
 The Cooking of Hungarian Foods
 by Michael of St. Benedict, chef to His Excellency Sebastian of
 Thököl, August 10, 1601 in Késmárk."
 
 The journal article from 1959 writes the author's name as
 "Szentbenedeki Mihály", and that's what all the various footnotes and
 bibiliographies use, too.
