Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays of the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief AZ entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, photographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects.

A Magyar warlord whose landholdings extended into eastern Slovak territory, he was most likely Hungarys first count palatine under King Stephen, and founder of the House of Aba, a Hungarian noble family linked to the rpd dynasty.
ACADEMIA ISTROPOLITANA (14651490)The first institution of higher learning founded on Slovak territory in 1465 in Bratislava by King Mathias I, Corvinus. Its official opening took place on 20 July 1467. It was composed of four facultiestheology, law, medicine, and the artsand was often designated in the documents of the period as Universitas Histropolitana. The curriculum in the Faculty of Arts centered on the septem liberales (the seven liberal arts), as defined at the time, namely, algebra, geometry, music, astronomy, Latin grammar, dialectics, and rhetoric. Little is known about the other faculties and even less about the student body.
Poor financing from the king; the Hungarian conquest of Vienna in 1485 (where there was a well-established university); the decreasing involvement of Jn Vitez, archbishop of Ostrihom, and Juraj Schomberg, vice-chancellor; and a lack of interest by their successors resulted first in the universitys decline and then in its closing in 1490.
