Publisher's Synopsis
Wherein is shown how sagely the Rev. Master Frohlich brought up his motherless daughter, pretty Michal. In the days when the Turkish Sultan ruled in Hungary as far as Ersekujvar and Eger, the German Kaiser from Eger to the Zips country, and George Rakoczy, Prince of Transylvania, from Zips to the Szeklerland-all three of whom were perpetually fighting among themselves, sometimes two against one and sometimes all together indiscriminately, so that the inhabitants had a very lively time of it-in those days (somewhere about 1650) the learned and reverend Master David Frohlich was the pride of the Keszmar Lyceum and Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy there. Master Frohlich knew everything which could be reasonably expected of a man. He knew how to calculate solar and lunar eclipses.
