Countess Teleki Lászlóné Ráday Eszter may be regarded as one of the outstanding bibliophiles of the 18th century. The catalogue comprising the titles of her collection is safeguarded in the Teleki Téka, in Marosvásárhely. The present paper attempts to offer an insight into her childhood and family life – her father, Ráday Pál being the chancellor during II. Rákóczi Ferenc’s Principality – of those circumstances that may have triggered her love for books and greatly contributed to her later passion of collecting them. At the same time, we may find out information about her relationship with Bod Péter and Árva Bethlen Kata, the other representative bibliophiles and collectors of the 18th century. Ráday Eszter’s catalogue entails a total of 246 items, out of these 114 volumes were successfully retrieved from two major Transylvanian collections – one being at Székely Mikó Upper Secondary School and the other in the former library of the Transylvanian Museum Society (today known as the library of Babeş-Bolyai University). The books were all donated by her great-grandson, count Teleki Domokos (1810–1876). As well as these, we also attempt to render some data with regard to the current situation and placement of the books belonging to her father, Ráday Pál.
