ThePost-Reformation Digital Library (PRDL) is adatabase of digitized books from theearly modern era. The collected titles are directly linked to full-text versions of the works in question. The bibliography was initially inclined towardProtestant writers from theReformation and immediatePost-Reformation era (the later sometimes characterized as the age ofProtestant Scholasticism). In its current development the project is moving toward being a comprehensive database of early moderntheology andphilosophy and also includeslate medieval andpatristic works printed in theearly modern period.
The database is a project of theJunius Institute for Digital Reformation Research at Calvin Theological Seminary, and was produced in cooperation with the H. Henry Meeter Center forCalvin Studies, a joint undertaking ofCalvin College andCalvin Theological Seminary.
As bibliographical projects such asVD 16,VD 17, andEnglish Short Title Catalogue, have a more narrow national or regional focus, meta-bibliographical tools such as PRDL andEarly Modern Thought Online play a vital role in facilitating scholarship in the rapidly changing technological landscape.[1]
