Library of the Eparchy of Slavonia

The Library of the Eparchy of Slavonia (Serbian, Croatian: Knjižnica Eparhije slavonske), also known as the Pakrac's Library (Serbian, Croatian: Pakračka knjižnica) and abbreviated as PEP, is a cultural and historical institution of the Eparchy of Slavonia with a history of approximately 250 years. It is recognized as one of the most significant Serbian Orthodox Church libraries alongside those at the Hilandar Monastery and the Patriarchate of Belgrade. The library contains over 20,000 volumes. It is notable for its collection of early printed South Slavic books, making it the second-largest collection of its kind in the world. The oldest item in the library is a 1497 edition of Vergil’s works in Latin, acquired with support from the Government of Republika Srpska.
