Summary/Abstract: Samuel Teleki was not just a men of culture who’s interest in books was connected to his social image. He was passionately fond of books; he understood, at an early age, the importance of education, the necessity of a library.When he was 19, he began to acquire books from 25 important typographical centers from Europe. He was very interested in making a library of encyclopedic nature.The first document concerning the organization and conservation of his library was written in 1798. Through its indications, this document proves quite current, because it underlines some basic rules concerning the use of the books: the readers must take care of books, they must not touch them with dirty hands etc. There are some rules for the librarians too: the way the library must be organized, the way the building must be cleaned and maintained etc.
