Duke Augustus the Younger of Brunswick-Lüneburg was a sovereign ruler, scholar, author, and bibliophile in early modern Germany. Considered one of the most literate princes of his era, Augustus received an excellent humanist education beginning at the age of eight and went on to attend university in Rostock, Tübingen, and Strasbourg before traveling extensively throughout Italy, Sicily, Malta, France, and England. He is best remembered for founding the world-famous Herzog August Library at his residence in Wolfenbüttel. His family book of 1594–1604 is a combination of a genealogy, a register of coats of arms, and an Album Amicorum or “friendship book” that has been artfully adorned with splendid copperplate #engravings that offer a glimpse of daily life in Germany at the turn of the 17th century.
