"'Marcus Tanner has written a fascinating book, which tells not only the life-story of Matthias Corvinus but also the later history of his library... Tanner has a shrewd sense of character and a vivid eye for detail, and he succeeds in bringing to life the politics of Matthias's reign, with all its dynastic in-fighting and geopolitical jockeying for position.' Noel Malcolm, The Telegraph"
