Feleky Collection

Okay, kiddo, so let me tell you about the Feleky Collection.

Have you ever heard of people who collect things like stamps or coins? Well, the Feleky Collection is sort of like that, except it's a collection of very special and rare books.

You know how books have different editions with different covers and sometimes extra special things inside? Like pictures or special pages? Well, the books in the Feleky Collection are like that, but they're extra special because they're old and rare.

The Feleky Collection has over 10,000 books, and some of them are over 500 years old! Just think about that, five hundred years! They're called "incunabula" which is a big fancy word that means books that were printed before the year 1501.

Now, what's so special about these old books, you might ask? Well, kiddo, these books are like time capsules. They give us a glimpse into what life was like hundreds of years ago. They're special because they're some of the very first books ever printed, and they're the beginning of what we now call the printing industry.

So the Feleky Collection is like a big treasure trove full of old and special books, and people are very lucky to be able to study and learn from them.
