The Rotterdam City Library contains the world's largest collection
of works by and about Desiderius Erasmus (1469?-1536), perhaps
Rotterdam's most famous son. The origin of this unique collection
dates back to the seventeenth century when the city fathers
established a library in the Great or St. Laurence Church. This
bibliography of the Erasmus collection lists, for the first time,
all of the Rotterdam scholar's works and most of the studies
written about him from his time to the present day. The collection
is of vital importance to Erasmus studies and has, in many cases,
provided the basic material for editions of Erasmus's complete
works. In addition to the unique sixteenth-century printings listed
in this book, the collection includes many translations into
Estonian, Polish, Russian, Czech, Hebrew, and other languages. The
Rotterdam Library has acquired publications about Erasmus that
cover such topics as his life, work and times; his contemporaries;
his humanism, pedagogy, pacifism, and theology; his relationship to
Luther and the Reformation; and his influence on later periods. The
collection numbers (as of 1989) roughly 5,000 works divided as
follows: 2,500 works by Erasmus himself, 500 works edited by him,
and 2,000 books and articles about him. This bibliographic resource
will be of great value to Erasmus scholars, philosophy researchers,
and historians studying the path of philosophical and religious
thought.
