ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Otto Ege

Otto Ege was a person who lived a long time ago and was interested in old books called manuscripts. These manuscripts had words and pictures that were written by hand a very long time ago. Otto Ege was a collector of these manuscripts, which means he really liked to have them and keep them safe.

Otto Ege thought that some of the manuscripts were so important that they should be shared with more people. So, he took some of the pages out of the books and put them into separate folders. He called these folders "portfolios".

He wanted people to be able to see the pages and learn from them, but he only made a few portfolios, so not many people could see them. Also, some people think that it was wrong for Otto Ege to take the pages out of the old books because it changed the way they were meant to be read and understood.

Overall, Otto Ege was a person who really loved old books, but some people disagree with how he shared them with others.
