The first significant book collection in P\u00e9cs had been established by Bishop Zsigmond Ber\u00e9nyi but the library saw its heyday when Gy\u00f6rgy Klim\u00f3 was Bishop of P\u00e9cs whose main goal was to restart the medieval university of King Louis the Great. For this purpose, Klim\u00f3 established a papermill and a printing house and invited scholar priests to the diocese who could become professors at the university. This is how J\u00f3zsef Koller ended up in P\u00e9cs. He catalogued the books of the Klim\u00f3 Collection, and he did research in Rome to find the documents of the medieval diocese of P\u00e9cs. In 1774, Klim\u00f3 opened his library to the public. Although Maria Theresa had not granted permission to restarting the university, the collection became a public library.<\/p>\n

Bishop Ign\u00e1c Szepesy (1828-1838) was a scholar himself who carried out and patronised scholarly work. He founded the Episcopate Lyceum Quinque\u2013Eclessiae in which the library building was designed by J\u00f3zsef Piatek. In 1832, the Klim\u00f3 Collection was relocated to this building, which necessitated a new catalogue. The 6 hand-written folio volumes included an author type of catalogue, sorted alphabetically, and a thematically sorted catalogue.<\/p>\n

In 1923, the Elisabeth University of Bratislava was relocated to P\u00e9cs due to territorial changes after World War I. Therefore, Bishop Gyula Zichy gave the building of Klim\u00f3 Library along with the collection to the university for permanent use, making Gy\u00f6rgy Klim\u00f3\u2019s dream come true, because his library could finally be used by university students and professors.<\/p>\n

The majority of the books were in Latin but there were many German and Hungarian books as well as some Italian, Armenian, Sanskrit, Russian and Arabic books. Some rarities including eight codices, the 250 Antique Roman Fonts, medieval diplomas, the Vizsoly Bible, the manuscript of Sebesty\u00e9n Tin\u00f3di Lantos as well as a Dutch master\u2019s globe and celestial sphere from 1700 are also part of the Collection. The library catalogue of the collection is digitally available now.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
