 Johannes de Thurocz German manuscript illumination He was educated in a Premonstratensian monastery in Šahy, where he learned Latin and Law. In 1465 he appeared in Buda, as a prosecutor of the Premonstratensian monastery of Šahy. From 1467 to 1475 he served as a notary of the "country judge" Ladislas of Pavlovce and from 1476 to 1486 as the main notary of the country judge Stephen Báthory at the royal court, and from 1486 to 1488 as a head notary and judge of the Royal personnel clerk Thomas Drági. No document confirming his studies at a university has been preserved, so the title "magister" used in front of his name did not express his university degree, but was only a commonly used title for a person working in an office (as a civil servant).

Magister Ján from Turiec, as results from his own words formulated in the dedications of the work, did not intend to be a historiographer. In fact, the chronicle contains many errors, omissions of significant events, it extensively relies on oral tradition, folk songs and anectodes, and mentions of "miraculous" events and wonders. Destiny and fortune play a significant role in the historical evolution process described. The author is also convinced also of a close relationship between human fortune, historical events and the motion of celestial bodies. Considerable attention is also given to depictions of feelings of historical characters. He looked for explanation of lot of events in the moral imperative. Ján´s clear tendency is also the idealisation of Attila and Matthias Corvinus and the degradation of the significance of queens on the Hungarian throne. A moral imperative is an ethical responsibility. ...
