The newly established Czechoslovak Republic quickly understood the value of written chronicles for future generations. As such, act no. 80/1920 Sb. on communal memory books (o pamätných knihách obecných) required all municipalities to found and maintain a memory book. Government Order No. 169/1932 “on memory books” made the law enforceable and led to the founding of the Memory book of the City of Bratislava, led uninterrupted for the remainder of the first Czechoslovak Republic’s existence. The book has since become practically unknown. This contribution aims to introduce the book itself, explain the processes behind its founding and highlights some of the people who helped make it a reality. After the government order was issued the city applied for an exemption to maintaining the memory book and was denied. At the meeting of the municipal culture committee on April 25th 1933 the question of the memory book maintenance was included on the agenda. The committee proposed delegating members of the city parliament to a so‑called annals committee. The board of representatives of the town of Bratislava debated the issue on July 3rd 1933 and approved the proposed members of the new committee (prof. Jozef Šmíd and journalist Karol Sidor for the Czechoslovak ethnicity, Dr. Samuel Frühwirt for Germans, Dr. Ladislav Aixinger for Hungarians) and temporarily Dr. Elisabeth Mayerová from Bratislava City Museum was entrusted with keeping the Memory book, under expert supervision by Dr. Ovidius Faust, city archivist. Dr. Mayerová thus became the first named chronicler of the City of Bratislava.
A. Mayerová wrote during her tenure the Introduction to the Memory book and the entire General part, the clean copy of entries for years 1933 — 1935 and using a typewriter finished the notes for entries for years 1936 — 1938. Her work with the Memory book is well commented through her handwritten notes, today included in Chronicles collection. Her successor was Ján Ambrovits. Today there are no finished yearly entries available from his tenure. The Annals committee was founded in July 1933 existed until October 1938. Formally it was headed by mayor Dr. Vladimír Krno, followed by deputy mayor Dr. František Kraus.
The committee ceased to exist on October 27th 1938 after commissar Dr. Belo Kováč was put in charge of Bratislava. The commissar himself took control of the chronicle on December 13th 1938, joined by a seven‑person advisory board including citizens of German and Hungarian ethnicity.
The final result Dr. A. Mayerová’s work is her manuscript of the Memory book of the City of Bratislava in two volumes.

Mark of Vysoká chamberlain to King Louis II was sent on a mission to the Ottoman Empire in 1517. His aim was to meet Prince Süleyman, son of Sultan Selim, and if possible also meet the imprisoned Hungarian envoy Barnabas Béley. Mark and his group achieved the aim of their mission in a short time – after 19 days of travel. He kept a detailed record of his stay in the city of Edirne and return journey, but only three fragments survive today. The study presents an analysis of the historical context of the mission and an edition of the surviving fragments of Mark’s record of the journey.
