A personality of the humanist scholar and mining expert Hans Dernschwam (1494 – 1568/69) combined a major travelling appetite and a significant observation talent. His travelogue to the countries of Asia Minor from 1553 – 1555 has attracted also the attention of historians out of Europe. A thorough historiographical analysis of his work, however, still struggles with insufficient knowledge of Dernschwam’s actual biographical data. This paper focuses on the period of Hans Dernschwam’s life which is connected with the Červený Kameň (Slovakia) estate in the western parts of the Kingdom of Hungary, and small town of Častá. A contextual analysis of the economic administration sources from the Červený Kameň estate from the 1530s – 1550s, stored in the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava, shows that Dernschwam’s handwritten note in Stöffler’s ephemerides on the real estate purchase in Častá in 1538 cannot be interpreted along F. Babinger’s line, namely as an unambiguous reference to a deed performed by the author of the note himself.
