Biography:
Batthyány was an Hungarian high noble, military man and patron of the sciences. Educated by private tutors at the Habsburg courts in Graz, Vienna, and France. Served in the imperial army against the Turks (1566-). He was appointed "dapiferorum regalium magister" by king Maximilian (the later emperor Maximilian II) in 1568. He inherited (among other castles) Szálonak in 1570 and Németújvár (Güssing) in 1575. Tolerant towards protestants, he employed for example the Lutheran preacher Istvan Beythe and the printer Johan Manlius. He Died 11 february 1590.
He was a military man, polyglot, book-collector and "prince-practitioner." He possessed a beautiful library, and was very interested in alchemy, parecelsian medicine, classical learning, and botany. He performed alchemical experiments and exchanged knowledge, medical recipes, and plants with friends. Although he spent a lot of money on the defense of the border, and he could not employ his own scholars, artists, or poets at his court, he acted as an occasional patron for nearby printers and scholars and built up an up-to-date and systematic library. He was also a patron, friend and correspondent of Carolus Clusius.
Batthyány was a patron of Carolus Clusius and "prince-practitioner": Carolus Clusius dedicated his Aliquot notae in Garciae (Antwerp 1582) to him. Batthyány financed the Stirpium nomenclator Pannonicus of Carolus Clusius (1583) and the watercolors on which one of the first publications about mushrooms was based (C. Clusius, Fungorum in Panoniis historia (Antwerp 1601).
