1 THE HOLDINGS OF THE EHRENPREIS CENTRE: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RARE BOOKS Hermann J. Real With the assistance of Hayrie Salish, Sandra Simon, and Bernd Zumdick Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster In seventeenth-century book production, authors were in the habit of excusing their publications “with the urgent Importunity of their Friends.” Fortunately, we do not have to invoke this topos to justify the following bibliography of the Ehrenpreis Centre’s rare books. In submitting it to our readers of, we are merely heeding the advice of several distinguished members of its Advisory Board, who pointed out to us, no doubt rightly so, that such a catalogue would not only record the growth of the Centre’s resources in the past twenty years or so, but that it would also underline that its library was well worth a visit. Given the fact that new editorial ventures were very much in evidence, they argued, it was high time to make the Centre’s holdings more widely known to the community of Swift scholars, all the more so after its acquisition of the inestimable David Woolley research collection in 2005. Indeed, we felt that it would not have been appropriate to ignore their advice. In recording the Centre’s material, we have adopted, by and large, the organizational structure established by the bibliography of TEERINK AND SCOUTEN: COLLECTED WORKS is followed by sections of SMALLER COLLECTIONS, A TALE OF A TUB, GULLIVER’S TRAVELS, and SEPARATE WORKS. These are supplemented by sections of SWIFTIANA, CONTEMPORARY CONTEXTS as well as BIOGRAPHY AND CRITICISM. The only obvious section which does not have an equivalent in TEERINK AND SCOUTEN is the one recording the Centre’s reconstruction, in identical imprints, of Swift’s LIBRARY AND READING. For the time being, we have decided not to distinguish titles known to have been in the Dean’s library from those he claims to have read, or gives the impression of having read, that were not in his library. For reasons of space, it was not possible to adduce the full evidence, or even any evidence at all, in each indivual case. However, we hasten to add that Dirk Passmann, who has now embarked, with Hermann J. Real, on the project of Swift’s Reading, will be happy to share whatever documentation we have on specific titles with all interested readers. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this bibliography of the Ehrenpreis Centre’s libri rari is rather a checklist, not a full-scale quasi-facsimile 1 The following bibliography was originally published in Swift Studies, 22 (2007), 7-96, but has been updated since, with new acquisitions printed in bold. 1 descriptive bibliography. Since its chief purpose is to make its holdings known to the widest possible readership, it is but a somewhat extended, and very cautiously modernized, short-title catalogue. All who would like to know more about individual items are cordially invited to write, or better still, to come and find out for themselves.2 SWIFT, JONATHAN COLLECTED WORKS The Works of J. S, D.
