  • The Hungarian "Chronicon pictum" (1358). Story and images to build a national identity.

    Hungarian Illuminated Chronicle is the title given to the manuscript Clmae 404 of the National Library of Budapest, written and decorated around the year 1358 for the king of Hungary Louis the Great (1326-1382). The Chronicle starts with the origin of the Hungarian people and breaks off at November 1330, when the Valachians defeated king Charles I of hungary (1310-1342). The author made use of pre-existing works in order to outline the Hungarian national history. The codex, possibly illuminated in Central Europe, features the oldest visual representation of the history of Hungary, its monarchy and its king-saints.
