Humanism as a form of entertainment: Hungarian-Slavonian examples

The popularity of humanism depended heavily on its likability, and its adherents often used it as a means of outsmarting and entertaining each other with cunningly worded Latin epistles and poems. The first Croatian-Hungarian humanists, like Ianus Pannonius, got ahead in their society thanks to their sharp tongues and often searing humour, which goes to show that even the most sublime works of literary art were often written mainly to put smiles on people’s faces.
