Holdings: Figures

I will approach our holdings from a few angles. In terms of figures, Cultura Fonds Library currently holds the following items:

• 7 manuscripts (15th-16th C), all of which are part of bindings, except one double parchment leaf (grand folio)
  

• 3 etchings (all framed; 2: 16th C, 1: 18th C)

• 2 autograph letters (16th C)

• 125 ordinnances and broadsides (16th C)

• printed books spanning 4 centuries (excluding one 20th C reprint of a 16th C book), published from from1470 till 1789.

If we look per century, we get the following figures:

• holdings from the 15th century: 21 (3 manuscripts and 18 incunables or books printed before 1501)

• holdings from the 16th century: 795 (among them 35 postincunables or printed books published before 1541)
  

• holdings from the 17th century: 169

• holdings from the 18th century: 43 (among them 2 reprints of 16th C books)

And we add:

• holdings from the 20th century: 1 (its sole interest being a 20th C facsimile of a 16th book)
