We shall always think ourselves very much obliged to István Monok, University professor, Doctor of Academy of Science, the Director General of the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, for helping us to find our motto, which is based on this little anecdote:
“In the Matthias Graduale there is a chorus singing on a tiny (ca. 3 inches) initial. In front of them, the songbook, is fingernail-sized. But to the astonishment of the researchers, under a magnifying glass it turned out that the notes of the score depict a playable melody. In all likelihood, the codex painter wanted to do the perfect job even if nothing could be seen with the naked eye.”
This is also the mentality of our team, and it is by no means a coincidence that the wall of our director’s office is decorated with this symbolic initial.
