Marcus Tanner provides a scholarly examination of Matthias Corvinus, the Renaissance monarch who transformed Hungary into a center of European humanism. The narrative chronicles the king's military campaigns and his ambitious efforts to assemble the Bibliotheca Corviniana, one of the most significant collections of illuminated manuscripts and classical texts of the fifteenth century.
