I stumbled upon an amazing site the other day (via
Early Modern Thought Online) run by the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and the Università di Cagliari.
Biblioteche dei Filosofi is a database of the private libraries of great thinkers over the past few centuries. The site includes Nicholas of Cusa, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Stillingfleet, Zwingli, Goethe, Arminius, and many others. It looks like for most of the personalities, a pdf of a previously published index volume is included that lists the holdings of their personal library. These are of course the old and out-of-copyright versions; for instance, Georg Reimer's 1835 list of Schleiermacher's library is included rather than the more recent critical editions. This site offers a lot for curious exploration, as well as useful research material.
The
Biblioteche also has an extensive explanation of
the project that is worth reading, and they are looking for
contributors.
