The present study takes a close look at prefaces to 16th century vernacular compilations and inquires into the subject matter they broach and the function they fulfil. It transpires that these prefaces not only enhance understanding of the individual works they specifically refer to but also provide insights into the major points at issue in the literary theory of the period, the reception accorded to these texts and the expectations of their audience. The systematic documentation makes it possible to compare these prefaces in a genre-related context and to indentify individual elements and the topoi they share. A comprehensive annex makes a number of 16th century exempla prefaces readily accesible for the first time.
