PRESIDENT VISITS ROYAL LIBRARY
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, /MONTSAME/ IN frames of the visit to the Kingdom of Denmark, Mongolia's President Ts.Elbegdorj visited October 8 the Royal Danish Library (RDL).
He was welcomed by director-general of the RDL Erland Kolding Nielsen who introduced Ts.Elbegdorj to some Mongolian manuscripts stored in the library. They are a manuscript copy of the “Erdeniin Erkh”, which was written in 1835, some illustrated books about Mongolian lifestyle, Mongolian methods of calculation and analyzing lands and climate, 17-18th centuries, a map of Setsen Khan aimag (old administrative unit in Mongolia) of 1903 showing in detail all rivers, mountains, monasteries and urban areas.
These Mongolian manuscripts are divided into two--before and after the year 1835. In general, there are 650 manuscripts on Mongolian history, culture, religion, books and maps in this library. In addition, many works have been registered with UNESCO World Heritage Fund.
The Royal Danish Library was founded in 1648 by King Frederik III who seeded it with a comprehensive collection of European works. For the public it was opened in 1793.
Today, this library has become a part of the University of Copenhagen.
The President has shared views with the library's authorities on developing a collaboration in researching these rare manuscripts and on possibility to make their copies for Mongolia.
