Brill Huldrych Zwinglis Private Library: 215 (Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions, 215)

Review "The introduction offers nothing less than a concise intellectual biography of Zwingli."Emidio 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.
