What are the definitive books or textbooks for understanding Design Patterns?

Background

The Definitive C++ Book Guide and List is a question on stack overflow that gives a comprehensive list of credible C++ textbooks through which to learn C++. I would like to know if there is a definitive list elsewhere, either on a stack exchange or on the internet, that lists credible books on learning Design Patterns. There is one question that deals with this issue from the anti-pattern perspective. However, I do not want information from the anti-pattern perspective. Rather I would like information from the creation of a pattern. Hence my question...

Question

Is there a list of definitive Design Patterns books, like there is for C books and C++ books?
