Zwingli’s Hohe Schule and the Book and Reading Culture in Zürich until 1601
The origins of the library at the Grossmünster are unknown. The position of a librarian has been documented since 1260. Equally unknown are the book holdings from the period before the Reformation. To date, 32 manuscripts and 37 incunabula from the medieval library have been discovered. As a result of the Reformation, many books were destroyed, but these were usually multiple copies of works that were important for the pre-Reformation worship. Af…
Conrad Gessner (1516-1565)
The Zurich polymath Conrad Gessner (1516–1565) is known as the founder of zoology and plant geography, the father of bibliography, editor of ancient texts, and author of one of the most important paleontological works of the sixteenth century. While preparing his extensive work on plants, he died unexpectedly and early from the plague.

Huldrych Zwingli‘s Private 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 a…
Reformation als Auftrag
Reformation and printing belong together in Zurich from the very beginning. Apart from the fact that Froschauer and Zwingli were personally close, all the important Reformation imprints of Zurich, as well as dozens of Bibles and Bible parts, were printed by him. With about 760 prints Froschauer is one of the big names in the German-speaking world of publishing. He has printed not only Theologica but also many textbooks and groundbreaking illustra…
Der erste Schweizer Druck von Johann Arndts "Wahrem Christentum" von 1616
Researchers working on Johann Arndt have known for some time of a Zurich imprint of the first book of his True Christianity, which appeared in 1616, but the printing history of this imprint has been completely unknown. The book was published by a previously unknown bookseller named Johann Balthasar Beugger. In this article, his identity is illuminated and his affiliation with the Schwenckfeldians is demonstrated

Networks and the Book Trade The Book and Reading Culture in Basel and Zurich During the Sixteenth Century
With the bibliographical descriptions of early modern Swiss publications now almost complete for the period up to 1600, this chapter examines printing and reading across the sixteenth century and not until 1640. The cities of Basel and Zurich were the two principal printing centres for German-speaking Swiss humanists and Reformed Protestants. The Swiss market for these books extended from Geneva in the west to Grisons and Saint Gall in the east. …
The Hollis-Collections in Switzerland
Thomas Hollis (1720–1774) was not only one of the most important donors of the Harvard College Library, but donated also books to a number of institutions throughout Europe, among them the main libraries in Basle, Berne, Geneva and Zurich. This article shows the motivations behind Hollis’s choice of books and recipients to spread the philosophy of political and religious liberty and demonstrates for the first time the full extent of Hollis’s camp…
