As Queens' was an unusually humanist-leaning institution in the 16th century, Queens' College Old Library still houses many first editions of Erasmus' publications, many of which were acquired during that period by bequest or purchase, including Erasmus' New Testament translation which is signed by friend and Polish religious reformer Jan Laski.
Karena perguruan tinggi itu merupakan suatu intitusi berbasis humanis yang tidak biasa pada abad ke-16, Queens' College Old Library masih menyimpan banyak edisi pertama publikasi Erasmus, dan banyak diantaranya diperoleh selama periode tersebut melalui hibah ataupun pembelian, termasuk terjemahan Perjanjian Baru oleh Erasmus yang ditandatangani oleh Jan Lasky, seorang temannya dan reformis keagamaan Polandia.
