Teleki Library - Târgu Mureș
“Entering the library I was shaken by amazement” – wrote Ferenc Kazinczy in 1816 when he visited the Teleki Library. The basic collection of today’s Teleki-Bolyai Library was made available for the general public by Count Samuel Teleki, Chancellor of Transylvania, on 18th October 1802.
It is really difficult to prioritise the treasures of the Teleki Library, its shelves and showcases boast with incunabula, about two thousand Hungarian books, famous Bibles, the basic works of 16th – 18th century Europe’s scholarship, 17th century hand-painted atlases, countless volumes published by the most famous European publishing houses. After the Second World War this collection was enriched with the 80,000 volumes of the former Calvinist College, as well as with other fragmentary confessional and aristocratic collections. The Library’s oldest document is a 14th century parchment codex, known as the Koncz Codex that on some of its pages bares another handwriting which is the sixth oldest Hungarian language monument from the first quarter of the 15th century, known as the Lines and Glosses of Tîrgu Mureș. The most representative volumes are on display in the museum located in the main hall, while the researchers, students and local historians can work with almost any volume of the library in the upstairs reading room.
Today the former reading room houses the temporary exhibitions and can be visited along with the Bolyai Museum. The latter presents objects and documents connected to the two mathematicians; alongside Farkas’ main work, the Tentamen (in which his son’s famous non-Euclidean geometry is included as an appendix), the visitors can catch a glimpse of Farkas’ study and on a separating screen read selected copies of the 20,000 manuscripts of the two. During recent years the Teleki-Bolyai Library has played an active role in the life of the local community. The activities for kids are destined for school children, while the thematic, cultural and book-related discussions proved to be significantly popular among the general public.
