During the last two decades were discovered nearly 400 titles from his private library. They give an interesting insight into his interests and his sources. The present book contains not only an introduction and a catalogue of these books, but also inventories of the lost works as well as the still extant and lost manuscripts possessed by Gessner. They open the door to Gessner's study and to the intellectual world of a fascinating Renaissance scholar.History of science and medicine library ;v. 5.Private librariesSwitzerlandZurichCatalogsEarly printed booksSwitzerlandZurichBibliographyCatalogsManuscriptsSwitzerlandZurichCatalogsLibrariesSwitzerlandHistory16th centuryPrivate librariesEarly printed booksManuscriptsLibrariesHistory027/.1494/57206.27bclLeu Urs B(Urs Bernhard),1961-1631362Gessner Conrad1516-1565.71776Keller Raffael731473Weidmann Sandra1631363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817198503321Conrad Gessner's private library3970108UNINA
