Chronicon Pictum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Illuminated Chronicle (Vienna Illuminated Chronicle, Chronica Hungarorum , Chronicon (Hungariae) Pictum, Chronica Picta or Chronica de Gestis Hungarorum) is a medieval illustrated chronicle from the Kingdom of Hungary from the fourteenth century. It represents the international artistic style of the royal courts in the court of Louis the Great.
The illuminated decoration of the manuscript was executed in the Kingdom of Hungary before 1360 and it proves the knowledge of the Hungarian life, historical traditions, and legends.
The 147 pictures of the Chronicle are great source of information on medieval Hungarian cultural history, costume, and court life in the 14th century.
Its full name is: Chronicon pictum, Marci de Kalt, Chronica de gestis Hungarorum, that is, in English Illustrated Chronicle, Mark of Kalt's Chronicle About the Deeds of the Hungarians.
The manuscript it is presently stored in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest (Országos Széchényi Könyvtár, Budapest). Images
