The 2023 calendar of the ELTE University Library and Archives presents the Jesuit missions of the early modern period through some of the library's museum publications.
The pages of the calendar offer an insight into the diversity of our collections and cultural assets, and pay tribute to the 300th anniversary of the birth of George Pray. As the founder of Hungarian critical historiography and director of the University Library, the Jesuit monk also enriched the library's holdings with his private collection, which we keep as a treasure in our manuscript archive. An electronic version of the calendar is available here.
The representative wall calendar was published under the management of the Prime Minister’s Office, with the support of the National Cooperation Fund, the Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd. and the Foundation for the University Library.
