Although the University of Würzburg was (re-)founded in 1582 by Prince-Bishop Julius Echter, printed course catalogues in the modern sense did not exist during the first two centuries of its history. The sequence of catalogues only begins in 1785, and from then on they appeared on a regular basis. Because their titles changed frequently over time, they are presented here collectively as “course catalogues”. For reasons of personal and copyright protection, digitisation currently ends with the year 1945.
