Particular strengths lie in early printing and the Elizabethan and Stuart periods in England, with works by Shakespeare and other playwrights, various important editions of the Bible, and renaissance school books standing out as distinctive and deep collections. The Library is renowned for its outstanding collections of incunabula, emblem books, and continental renaissance imprints. Also noteworthy are the collections in the history of science and technology, theater history, American wit and humor, the history of economics, free speech movements, and natural history.

Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen

Reuchlin und der "Judenbücherstreit"
Alemannisches Institut, Arbeitsgruppe Tübingen in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Studium Generale der Universität Tübingen

Vor 500 Jahren, im September 1511, wurde in der Tübinger Offizin von Thomas Anshelm ein bemerkenswertes Buch gedruckt: der "Augenspiegel". Verfasser dieses überwiegend in deutscher Sprache verfaßten Werkes von knapp einhundert Seiten war Johannes Reuchlin (1455-1522), Humanist, Diplomat und Jurist. Seine Beziehungen zu Tübingen sind vielfältig: So wirkte er hier nicht nur als Professor, Ratgeber Eberhards im Bart, sondern auch als hochdotierter Richter des Schwäbischen Bundes mit Sitz im Rathaus. Der "Augenspiegel" entfachte bald eine heftige Kontroverse, bekannt unter dem Namen "Judenbücherstreit", die schließlich 1520 mit der Verurteilung Reuchlins durch den Papst endete. Reuchlin hatte sich gegen die Verbrennung jüdischer Bücher und zugunsten der Wahrung des geistigen und physischen Lebensraumes der Juden ausgesprochen.
