Georgievits was captured in the Battle of Mohács as a member of László Szalkai's entourage. He got to Asia Minor as a slave, took part in the campaign against the Persians with his master, and escaped in 1538 with Franciscan help. In 1544-45, he visited Belgium and Germany, where he published the writing of his adventures. Based on his own experiences, he spoke about the origin and customs of the Turks (De Turcarum ritu et caeremoniis), presented the Holy Land, Turkey, the Ottoman way of fighting and their treatment of Christian prisoners, and also wrote an anti-Turkish exhortation, the "Exhortatio". The first edition of his famous works, "Libellus," was published in Rome in 1552. The book was printed again in Lyon the following year, and from then on, it was designated "Epitome." The popularity of his writings is indicated by the fact that his works were published many times in both collected and independent editions during the 17th century.
