Grand Library of the Debrecen Reformed College

The Great Library of the Reformed Diocese of Tiszántúli has been serving the education of the Reformed College of Debrecen for centuries. In addition to theology, it collects mainly Hungarian-language literature and fiction, as well as local history works on Debrecen and the Tiszántúli congregations. In addition to the open shelf collection, 146 contemporary periodicals are available in the Reading Room. Our modern collection is available for loan, but the use of old books and manuscripts is subject to a research permit. Among our treasures, two Hungarian language monuments from the 16th and 17th centuries deserve special attention: the Debrecen Codex, a collection of legends, meditations and sermons, and the Lugossy Codex, a collection of songs. Among our antiquities, the Luther Bible, illustrated by a pupil of Lucas Cranach, stands out.
