Matej Bel, born at Očová in 1684, ran the Lutheran lyceum in Pressburg from 1714 and spent his life on something nobody had done before: describing the whole country properly, county by county. His Notitia Hungariae novae historico-geographica appeared in Vienna in four volumes between 1735 and 1742, covering ten counties, most of them in today's Slovakia, with maps drawn by the engineer Samuel Mikovíni. He wrote about mines, rivers, crops, towns and the languages people actually spoke, and he wrote about the Slovaks at a time when almost nobody did — one reason the national awakening two generations later kept reaching back to him. Contemporaries called him magnum decus Hungariae, the great ornament of Hungary; the Berlin Academy and the Royal Society in London elected him a member, and he died in Bratislava in 1749.Matej Bel sa narodil roku 1684 v Očovej, od roku 1714 viedol evanjelické lýceum v Prešporku a celý život robil to, čo pred ním nikto: poriadne, stolicu po stolici, opisoval celú krajinu. Jeho Notitia Hungariae novae historico-geographica vyšla vo Viedni v štyroch zväzkoch v rokoch 1735 – 1742 a zachytila desať stolíc, väčšinu z nich na dnešnom Slovensku; mapy k nej kreslil inžinier Samuel Mikovíni. Písal o baniach, riekach, plodinách, mestách aj o rečiach, ktorými ľudia naozaj hovorili, a písal aj o Slovákoch v čase, keď o nich takmer nikto nepísal — aj preto sa k nemu o dve generácie neskôr národné obrodenie tak rado vracalo. Súčasníci ho volali magnum decus Hungariae, veľká ozdoba Uhorska; za člena si ho zvolila Berlínska akadémia aj Kráľovská spoločnosť v Londýne a roku 1749 zomrel v Bratislave.
