A pair of important early histories of Bohemia. The work of Janus Dubravius or Skala (d. 1553), Bishop of Olmütz, was first published in 1552. It also treats the history of Poland, Hungary, and the southern Slav countries. The history by Pius II (1405-1464), written during his residence in Austria, is an account of the Hussite Wars, first published in 1475.
