About the author
Born in Kétegyháza on March 27, 1853, he became a respected Hungarian historian, historical writer, and university professor. Sources agree that he later taught at the Franz Joseph University and was elected to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, first as a corresponding member and later as a full member.
Márki wrote extensively on Hungarian history. Library records and reference sources especially point to his large multi-volume work on Francis II Rákóczi, and he is generally described as an important scholar of national history. He died in Gödöllő on July 1, 1925.
He is also remembered for the diaries he kept from 1873 to 1925. Those journals remained in manuscript for many years and are noted in later biographical references for their exceptional detail and historical value.
