"What can be simply deemed the magnum opus of author and researcher Egbertus van Gulik, Erasmus and His Books expertly crafts a nearly complete narrative of Erasmus’s library and collecting habits. The book reflects a massive undertaking by van Gulik and, following his passing in 1998, the work of editors James McConica and Johannes Trapman to compile and organize his extensive research and existing manuscript into this volume published by the University of Toronto Press."- Terry Schiavone, Pennsylvania State University Libraries (Libraries: Culture, History, & Society) "By illuminating the Versandliste with such rich detail and such highly informed, self-consciously documented speculation, van Gulik provides the reader of his book with a way to grasp what no library catalogue or simple list of texts by itself could convey: the many-faceted book life of northern Europe’s most important humanist." - Douglas S. Pfeiffer, Stony Brook University (Erasmus Studies)
