A press conference on the virtual reunification of the Corvina Library was held on 12 April 2023.
At the event, Máté Vincze, Deputy State Secretary for Public Collections and Cultural Development, welcomed the audience, Dávid Rózsa, Director General, presented the work of the virtual unification, and Edina Zsupán, member of the Fragmenta et Codices Research Group of the HUN-REN–NSZL, informed the audience about the research and the expanding digital service.
The guest of the press conference, Deputy State Secretary Máté Vincze stressed that if this intellectual property is united and – as it has been so far – available in English, well indexed for specialists, the NSZL can become a real centre for Corvina research.
Dávid Rózsa, Director General, gave a presentation on the current corvina website and the process of the reunification project. He pointed out that corvina.hu already presents codices that are not available anywhere else in the world (corvinas treasured in Verona).
Edina Zsupán, a codicologist of the Fragmenta et Codices Research Group of the HUN-REN–NSZL, a Hungarian expert of corvinas, presented in the first half of her presentation the use of corvina.hu, highlighting the different filtering options, and other valuable parts of the website, such as the pages with descriptions of the codex bindings. In the second part of her lecture, she spoke about the three corvinas newly arrived from Verona, three chapters of the historiography by Titus Livius.
