This bibliography was created to honor the Pacific Northwest Renaissance Society conference at Western Washington University on April 24-25, 1998.  The focus of this bibliography begins with the late Middle Ages and continues into the Renaissance with an emphasis on books. It includes volumes held by Special Collections and books on libraries, writing, art, architecture, literature, Petrarch and others, Humanism, science, philosophy, culture and music in the Renaissance.  Electronic resources, such as the Leonardo da Vinci and the Dante databases, as well as a brief list of websites relating to the Renaissance are also represented in this bibliography.

The libraries Special Collections includes a limited-edition reproduction of Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval classic, The Canterbury Tales, which the library acquired in 1996.  The facsimile, published in a joint effort between the Huntington Library Press and Yushodo, Co., Ltd., is an historically accurate copy of the original Ellesmere Manuscript, believed by many scholars to be the most important literary manuscript in the English language. The manuscript facsimile provides an unprecedented opportunity for you to view the work just as it appeared in the 15th century.
