Huldrych Zwingli‘s Private Library: Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, cartea 215

Autor Urs Leu, Sandra Weidmann
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 dec 2018
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.

Recenzii

“The introduction offers nothing less than a concise intellectual biography of Zwingli.”
Emidio Campi, Zürich.

“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.



"Nonostante la ricchezza, anzi la completezza della trattazione, lo svolgimento del volume si rivela tutt’altro che noioso, grazie anche alla limpida struttura della esposizione, alle illustrazioni, ed alle informazioni, non solo di per sé attraenti ma condite con riferimenti e citazioni che risultano stuzzicanti al fine di conoscere meglio sia la personalità del grande riformatore elvetico che alcuni tratti più singolari della sua umanità."
