Catalogue of Books at Hölderlin's House in Nürtingen

A great list of works which Hölderlin would have studied in depth. The images used here are not from Hölderlin's collection, they are simply examples and help in keeping the text divided into sections.

This list is found in Hölderlin’s Madness, review forthcoming.
