Antonio Bonfini (Latin variant: Antonius Bonfinius) (1427‒1502^[1]) was an Italian humanist and poet serving as a court historian in Hungary under King Matthias Corvinus during the last years of his career.^[2]

Bonfini was commissioned by Matthias Corvinus to produce a work chronicling the History of Hungary. Bonfini's great work is the Rerum Hungaricarum decades (Decades of Hungarian History).^[3] Bonfini gained invaluable merits in the history-writing of Hungary with this work. Until the late 18th century, this work served as a primary source for Hungarian history in European academic circles.^[4]
