About

The “Dinicu Golescu” County Library in Argeș has the mission to promote knowledge and meet the interests of study, reading, information, documentation, education and recreation for the entire Argeș community. The library offers its readers over 400.000 publications, representative encyclopaedic collections of books, periodicals, Romanian and foreign graphic and audio-visual documents. In the Special Collections, the library keeps an old book stock with great bibliophile and historical worth. In the stock of Special Collections, visitors can also discover miniature books or Lilliput books, true works of art, crafted with refinement and attention to details. Of these, the one that attracts all eyes, being also the oldest and most valuable, is the volume “Le petit fabuliste“, a collection in French, comprising 13 fables. Published at the beginning of the twentieth century in Paris, in the typography of the famous engraver and typographer Firmin Didot, the volume has 87 pages, the length of only 2.5 cm and the width of 2 cm. Although it is the size of a coin, the text can be read without a magnifying glass.
