Drawing on close study of Vitez’s writings and his various political and artistic networks of influence, Tomislav Matić demonstrates the wide scope of this church leader’s involvement in late medieval Central Europe. Not only were Vitez’s writings a catalyst for the introduction of humanism across the region, he was a patron of the arts, an avid astrologer, a master diplomat, and even a kingmaker, thus central to both political and cultural developments.Beyond medieval EuropeBishopsBiographyHungaryBishopsHungaryBiographyHumanistsBiographyHungaryHumanistsHungaryBiographyHISTORY / RenaissancebisacshEarly Renaissance, Humanism, Hungary, Central Europe, Catholic Church, diplomacy.BishopsBishopsHumanistsHumanistsHISTORY / Renaissance.282.092Matić Tomislavauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut0DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910576897903321Bishop John Vitez and Early Renaissance Central Europe2901698UNINA
