<p>The Verzeichnis der im deutschen Sprachraum erschienenen Drucke des 17. Jahrhunderts (in English: <i>Bibliography of Books Printed in the German Speaking Countries from 1601 to 1700</i>), abbreviated VD17, is a project to make a retrospective German <a href="/facts/National_bibliography/ffQh65ft">national bibliography</a> for the 17th century. The project was initiated in 1996 and planned to continue for 10–12 years. It is financed by the <a href="/facts/Deutsche_Forschungsgemeinschaft/fHRjppq8">Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft</a> (German Research Foundation). As of early 2007, the database contains more than 250,000 titles. </p><p>There is a corresponding German national bibliography for the 16th century, known as <a href="/facts/VD_16/c5W7zIMv">VD 16</a>, which was compiled during the period 1969-1999, and another for the 18th century is planned. </p>
