The paper deals with knowledge about the religious community of Anabaptists, which can be found in the work of the Hungarian polymath, geographer and historian Matthias Bel. The territory of presentday western Slovakia was inhabited in the past by several German-speaking ethnographic groups. One of them was the members of this radical religious- -social movement, who were also known under the ethnonymic name – Habans. The primary goal of my study is a comprehensive analysis of the information contained in Bel’s work Historical and Geographical Knowledge of New Hungary (Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica), which relate to the Haban population and its settlement within the territory of Slovakia.
