	Matthias Corvinus of Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matthias was born in Kolozsvár (present-day Cluj-Napoca) in Transylvania in 1443, the second son of John Hunyadi, a successful Hungarian military leader of Vlach ancestry, who had risen through the ranks of the nobility to become regent of Hungary.
		The later epithet Corvinus was coined by Matthias' biographer, the Italian Antonio Bonfini, who claimed that the Hunyadi family (whose coat of arms depicts a raven—corvus in Latin) descended from the ancient Roman gens of the Corvini.
		Matthias was educated in Italian, and his fascination with the achievements of the Italian Renaissance led to the promotion of Mediterranean cultural influences in Hungary.

	Tertullian: Ilona Berkovits, Illuminated Manuscripts from the library of Matthias Corvinus (1964): Extract. pp. 9-53
		The Italian humanist historian Bonfini, who came to the court in 1486, "proved," by means of detailed humanist comments, and by referring to the raven in the Hunyadi family's coat-of-arms, that the King's ancestor was the Roman Valerianus Corvinus, whose family descended in straight line from Jupiter himself.
		Bonfini recorded that Beatrice and her retinue reached the country through Carinthia and Styria "in constant terror of marauding Turks who ravaged right and left on their way and would in all likelihood have been delighted to capture the whole travelling party."
		The Latin translation was done by Bonfini in 1487----during the siege of Wiener Neustadt----therefore this splendid manuscript must have been produced in the last years of Matthias's reign, between 1488 and 1490.

	The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLI * No. 160 * Winter 2000
		After János Thuróczy's 1488 chronicle, first appearing in Brünn and then in Augsburg, no illustrated histories of Hungary were published in the country until the 17th century.
		(Mausoleum, published in 1664, was no more than a collection of eulogies with portraits of monarchs.) In the Netherlands, however, several volumes were published (German translations of the works of Thuróczy and Antonio Bonfini), as interest in Hungarian history grew immensely in the 16th century-due largely to the Turkish expansion.
		The representation of Hungarians in these volumes is sometimes very derogatory, but images of history must also include those that others create about us.
