Janus Pannonius, Hungarian-Croatian humanist, Latinist poet and bishop (1434-1472), also character in Borges story

Fishburn and Hughes: "A possible rerence to the Hungarian poet Ivan Cesmicki (1434-1473), bishop of Croatia, who wrote in Latin and adopted the name Janus Pannonius. Ancient Pannonia corresponded to areas of present-day Hungary, Croatia and Austria and was finally subdued by Augustus in 9 BC." (102-03)
