Summary/Abstract: The study is directed towards the activity of a wandering Protestant printer Valentín Mančovič in the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. It summarizes his printing activity at Šintava, Plavecký Hrad, Hlohovec and Vižoľ. It comprehensively captures the life and work of Valentín Mančkovič and on the basis of surviving archive sources corrects the hitherto inaccurate chronology of his printing of books. The language and content of his independent works and those produced in cooperation with Peter Bornemisza are also considered. The paper analyses the social circumstances of a moving printing press and gives information about Valentín Mančkovič’s translation activities.
