GYONGYOSI, ISTVAN [STEPHEN] (1620-1704) , Hungarian poet, was born of poor but noble parents in 162o. His abilities early attracted the notice of
Count
  Ferencz Wesselenyi, who in 164o appointed him to a
post
  of confidence in Fulek
castle
 . Here he remained till 1653, when he married and became an assessor of the judicial board. In 1681 he was elected as a representative of his county at the
diet
  held at Soprony (Oedenburg). From 1686 to 1693, and again from 1700 to his death in 1704, he was
deputy
  lord-
lieutenant
  of the county of Gomor. Of his literary works the most famous is the epic poem Murdnyi
Venus
  (Caschau, 1664), in honour of his benefactor's wife Maria Szecsi, the heroine of Murany. Among his later productions the best known are Rbzsa-Koszori, or Rose-Wreath (1690), Kemeny-Linos (1693), Cupido (1695), Palinodia (1695) and Chariklia (1700).
The earliest edition of his collected poetical works is by Dugonics (Pressburg and Pest, 1796) ; the best
modern
  selection is that of Toldy, entitled
Gyongyosi
  Istvdn vdlogatott poetai munkdi (Select poetical works of Stephen
Gyongyosi
 , 2 vols., 1864-1865).
