With 1750 titles produced before the 18th century the Erasmus prints form an important group in the holdings of the Herzog August library. The collection represents the entire range of the writings of Erasmus. The existing number of copies of prints also reflect the popularity and the literary interest of the scholarly readers of the 16th and 17th Centuries in Erasmus. The VD 16 registers the Erasmus prints published in the 16th century in the German language area and provides their locations. At the same time the catalog also provides descriptions of the individual items, drawing attention to historically interesting covers, notes of previous owners, donations, marginalia and additions of handwritten materials.
