These materials cover a broad range of topics, including encyclopedias, religious and spiritual works, philosophical and political writings, legal sources, as well as publications in pedagogy, ethnography, linguistics, literary studies, and various historical collections. These books are valuable not only in quantity but also in content and scientific significance.
