Vienna Illuminated Chronicle (Viedenská maľovaná kronika)
Vienna Illuminated Chronicle (in Latin Chronicon Pictum) was written in May in 1358. In the courtyard of king Lois of Great, some unknown author managed to record and process our history in such a rich and wide extent, like to no one before him. After a while, the veil of this mystery was revealed and the authorship of this masterpiece started to be attributed to Mark of Kalt (in Latin Marcus de Kalt) a priest of Saint Peter's Curch in Buda. Whether it was Mark of Kalt, thanks to whom the historical documents were preserved or anyone else, this action was enormously important. We are surely not exaggerating when we say that he made a huge service to science. He documented and retained a vast amount of data, episodes and myths for future generations to come. The work, until today never completely published into Slovak language contains besides the Slovak translation also the Latin version of text with 147 authentic paintings, preserved from the 14th century.
