August Horislav Škultéty

August Horislav Škultéty was born in Veľký Krtíš and attended basic school in Tisovec.

[1] Beginning in 1839 he was assistant of the professor Juraj Palkovič at the Department of Czech and Slovak Speech and Literature, Lutheran Seminary in Bratislava.

[6] In the revolutionary years of 1848–1849, he was arrested and examined by Hungarian authorities at court in Plešivec because of his literal and political struggle for the development of the national life of Slovaks.

His literal work significantly developed Slovak literature, education and pedagogy, particularly for children and youth.

Then in 1850 and 1855 Škultéty's two text books Rečňovanka pre Slovenskje školi were issued, which affected the patriotic, linguistic and aesthetic education in Slovak schools.
