RARE COLLECTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

The University Library of Eötvös Loránd University is one of the oldest and even recently active public library in Hungary. Genesis of the University’s library can be traced back to a jesuite college’s library which was founded in 1561. The University was founded in 1635 by Pázmány Péter, the Archbishop of Esztergom, in Nagyszombat. The university and the library moved to Buda in 1777, then in 1784 to Pest. The palace of the library, where the present collection is exhibited, was erected as the first library-building in Hungary between 1873–1876. Recently, the complete stock of the University Library consists of more than 3,6 million volumes. We have 185 codices, among them one should mention first of all 14 codices of the Bibliotheca Corviniana, 1150 incunabula and 2600 old Hungarian printed books, lot of maps (printed and manuscript), valuable engravings, small-prints and several special books (first editions or dedicated exemplars). The Rare Books Department of the University Library was established in 2000. Nowadays we work on the rare’s books computer database, which consists of the most important fields like signature, author, title, imprint, physical description, reference note, subjects as personal name, corporate name (especially possessors), geographic name and photos (jpg-format) for the titlepage, the binding and the manuscript note (they are available in our on-line catalogue). The Antiqua Collection (1501–1600) consists of 7200 volumes, including 9400 different works with several exemplars. Saying it proudly: our antiqua collection is the second in Hungary. During the last years we have established The Baroque Collection (1601–1700) and The Enlightenment Collection (1701–1800), which  consists of about 45.000 volumes. These rare books (1501–1800) form a especialised collection for university education. Thanks to the jesuit science our library covers not only theological, medical, juristical but also arithmetical, geografical and natural science.
