Huldrych Zwingli's Private Library by Urs Leu
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.-

The introduction offers nothing less than a concise intellectual biography of ZwingliEmidio Campi, Zurich. This is an exceptionally interesting book. The historical details it shares and the massive amount of material it so carefully sifts is astonishing. Readers of this volume will learn more about Zwingli and his world than from most other volumes on the great Reformer. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Jim West, Ming Hua Theological College. In: Zwinglius Redivivus, 15 January 2019. The study [...] gives an excellent account of what can be gleaned about Zwingli as a reader, as a user of libraries, and about how he built up his own library. John L. Flood, University of London. In: Library & Information History, Vol. 35, No. 3 (2019), pp. 180-181.
