Can someone tell me how many encyclicals there are?

In my opinion Humanae Vitae is one of the most important and prophetic encyclicals.

How many encyclicals are there in all and what are other important ones?

Not sure, but good question!

EWTN has 290 encyclicals in their documents library.

I personally really like JP II’s writings, like Faith and Reason (Fide et Ratio) and the Splendor of Truth (Veritatis Splendor).

Here’s a good article about them:
