We are looking forward to seeing you at our program entitled “In the wake of language relics, codices and old books”. To be held on Friday September 28, 2018, the event is related to Researchers’ Night 2018 [2]. The program will include a mini exhibition and a mini conference.
How do the old language relics, codices and books survive all those centuries? What are their stories telling the experts, and via them, the general public? What are their stories in the first place? How did they find their way to public collections, and what can we do for them? Such and similar questions will be answered by the expert speakers of the night. Meanwhile, visitors will have an opportunity to look at a recently discovered language relic, and the world history from 1559, which had been bound together with the destroyed codex of the oldest Hungarian song book, surviving the calamities of World War II.
