Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary. Bibliotheca Corviniana was one of the most renowned libraries of the Renaissance world, established by Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, in Buda Castle between 1458 and 1490. The books were stolen and taken to Istanbul after the Hungarian defeat by the Ottomans in the Battle of Mohács in 1526.

Matthias Corvinus of Hungary (1443–90) created the Bibliotheca Corviniana, in its day one of Europe’s finest libraries. After his death, and especially after the conquest of Buda by the Turks in 1541, the library was dispersed and much of the collection was destroyed, with the surviving volumes scattered all over Europe.
Book II addresses how kingdoms and republics promote justice. Matthias states that a regime's laws are the clearest indication of whether a regime is promoting justice or injustice. He proposes that kingdoms are more just than republics as the Athenians, Romans, and Hebrews received their legal systems from a single lawgiver.
The subsequent owners of the formulary book – three different handwriting can be distinguished – continued the text of the third annales. The second author preserved events from the year 1490 (the death of Matthias, the coronation of Vladislaus II and the first phase of the War of the Hungarian Succession).
The death of Matthias Corvinus meant the end of the Black Army. The noble estate of the parliament succeeded in reducing the tax burden by 70–80 percent, at the expense of the country's ability to defend itself, [ 13 ] thus the newly elected king Vladislaus II was unable to cover the cost of the army.
