György Klimó

György Klimó (4 April 1710 – 2 May 1777 [1]) was Bishop of Pécs and founder of the Klimo Library and printing press.

He studied first in Pressburg, then in Pest (present-day Bratislava and Budapest, respectively), and in 1731 began his studies at the St. Stephen seminary (Szent István Papnevelő Intézet).

[3] In 1769 he sent a request to Maria Theresa to establish a university in Pécs although this was never realised during his lifetime.

[4] In 1773 Klimó established the Engel printing house.

The library is currently hosted by the University of Pécs in Szepesy Ignác street 1-3.
