Bibliography of the 16th century Latvian texts on internet

PDF version of this bibliography is available here.

Here you will find information about Latvian books and individual records in Latvian published in the 16th century that are available online. For a full description of the printed book in Latvian, see the published bibliography (SLV Seniespiedumi latviešu valodā, 1525–1855; 1999. Digital edition: here), but note that excerpts and manuscripts are not included there.

It is important to emphasise that this bibliography includes only works with digital copies. Thus, the publications listed here may exist in larger numbers in other libraries, but they were not digitised at the time. All publications here are presented chronologically.

If you find that a link no longer works, or if you know of more places on internet, please let me know. This list will be updated regularly; it is therefore best to use a website rather than a pdf document.
