About Miklós Istvánffy
Baron Miklós Istvánffy de Baranyavár et Kisasszonyfalva (Latin: Nicolaus Istuanfius; 8 December 1538 – 1 April 1615) was a Hungarian politician, Humanist historian and poet, who served as Palatinal Governor of Hungary (Hungarian: nádori helytartó) from 19 January 1582 to November 1608. He is often called as "Livy of Hungary", because of his historiographical activity and, because, he studied in Padua, the birthplace of the great Roman historian (then called Patavium).
