Erasmus Bibliotheca 19th Century 2 vol by Victor Vander Haeghen R Vanden Berg

In the 19th century, the Rotterdam-based Erasmus Collection was consolidated and developed, moving from being a collection of scattered volumes to a coherent unit, with the city's public library lending services beginning in the late 1800s. This period also saw the publication of "Erasmus Bibliotheca," a two-volume compilation by Victor Vander Haeghen and R. Vanden Berghe, which compiled books by and about the Renaissance humanist Desiderius Erasmus, and was a notable, but limited, publication for its time.
