An extensive introduction to Zwingli’s reading and his intellectual world as well as inventories of the still extant and lost books of his library.

The Swiss theologian Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531) was one of the most prominent reformers and the founder of the Reformed Protestant Church in the Swiss Confederation. During the last hundred years more than 200 titles from his private library have been discovered. They give an interesting insight into his interests and sources. The present book contains not only an extensive introduction and a catalogue of these books and manuscripts, but also an inventory of the lost works possessed by Zwingli. They open the door to Zwingli’s study and to the intellectual world of an important reformer.

Urs B. Leu, Dr. phil. (1990) in History, University of Zürich, is Director of the Rare Book Department of the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. He has written extensively on Conrad Gessner (1516–1565) and the Swiss reformation as well as the history of books. Sandra Weidmann is Librarian in the Rare Book Department of the Zentralbibliothek Zürich. Together with Urs B. Leu she published Heinrich Bullingers Privatbibliothek(TVZ, 2004) and Conrad Gessner’s Private Library (Brill, 2008).
