The Electronic Capito Project

Description:
The Electronic Capito Project provides access to the text of letters from and to Wolfgang Faber Capito (c. 1478-1541) which are either unpublished or were published before 1850 and are therefore difficult to access.

Coverage:
Full text letters, either unpublished or published before 1850.

Alternative Formats:
The website is part of a larger editorial and translation project aimed at making the correspondence of Capito available to an English readership in conventional print form. Three print volumes have been published:

The Correspondence of Wolfgang Capito. Volume 2: 1524-1531. Edited and translated by Erica Rummel, with the assistance of Milton Kooistra. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2010. ISBN-10: 0802099556; ISBN-13: 9780802099556.

The Correspondence of Wolfgang Capito. Volume 3: 1532-1536. Translated by Erika Rummel. Annotated by Milton Kooistra. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2015. ISBN: 9781442637214.
