First published on an extremely limited scale in the 1930s, Dr.
Jacob ter Meulen's pathbreaking bibliography of four centuries of
peace literature remains unsurpassed for the period it explores.
The work was originally completed by Dr. ter Meulen, the librarian
of the Peace Palace in the Hague, under the auspices of the
International Committee of Historical Sciences with the financial
support of the Norwegian Nobel Institute. The bibliography lists
close to 4,000 titles in chronological order, from the beginning of
printing until the end of the nineteenth century and is accompanied
by comprehensive author indexes. In his valuable introductory
essay, editor Dr. Peter van den Dungen traces the origins and
progress of ter Meulen's ambitious and still-unrivaled project,
provides a detailed discussion of the bibliography's significance
for students of peace and internationalism, and analyzes the growth
of the peace literature in a variety of languages during the period
covered--1480 to 1898. The bibliography itself is divided into two
sections that look at the peace literature from 1480 to 1776 and
then from 1776 to 1898. Each part is followed by its own author
index. A separate foreword by Arthur Eyffinger provides
biographical information on ter Meulen and outlines the history and
scope of the Peace Palace Library, ter Meulen's nearly three-decade
librarianship, and the project itself. As the primary bibliography
for the historical peace literature, this volume should be part of
the reference collections of larger university and public libraries
and of every college and university with a Peace Studies course.
Independent peace organizations both academic and activist, here
and abroad, aswell as historians will find this reference
invaluable to their work.
