Abstract

The article deals with an occasional publication by Benedikt Ilošvai (Benedictus Ilosvanus), printed in 1571 in Mateusz Siebeiecher’s printing house in Kraków to mark the betrothal of Elizabeth Báthory to František Nádašdy. The authors discuss its historical context associated with the figures of the two spouses, circumstances of the publication, its content as well as editorial layout (with illustrations probably by Jörg Brückner).
