Peter Martyr Vermigli

This is a bibliography of the Italian Protestant reformer, and presents published major works, minor works, and partial works or extracts.     (SCE&S 13)

A Reformed theologian’s interpretation of Aristotle’s ethics.     (SCE&S 73, PML 9)

This volume is technically superb, and reflects a consistent team effort. Though the original Latin text contains obscure terms and phrases, and often indulges in extended detours, the English translation is clean, lucid, and allied with the best interdisciplinary research.… This, along with a good index and a measured use of enriching footnotes, represents the Peter Martyr Library admirably.

—Renaissance Quarterly

Peter Martyr Vermigli’s earliest biblical commentary to survive is his lectures on the Book of Lamentations.     (SCE&S 55, PML 6)

Shute’s volume is as scholarly as anyone could want, yet is accessible to the non-expert. Technical terms are defined, and Shute’s clear and friendly style enhances his explanations.... The thoroughness and tone of this volume clearly indicate it to be a labor of love on the part of the editor and anyone who studies it will learn much beyond what Peter Martyr thought of Lamentations.

—Moreana

In this last work of Vermigli’s distinguished career as a theologian, he uses a dialogue to discuss the disagreement among Christians about the Eucharist and Christ’s presence in the Lord’s Supper.     (SCE&S 31, PML 2)

These works, “The Apostles’ Creed,” “Theses for Debate,” and “Schism and the True Church,” display the heart of Martyr’s theology, both pastoral and moral.     (SCE&S 30, PML 1)

This volume illustrates the busy and conflicted career of Vermigli, who left his beloved Italy in 1542, one step ahead of the Inquisition, to spend twenty years in three centers of Reform:  Strasbourg, Oxford, and Zurich.     (SCE&S 42, PML 5)

This source is still very important for biographers of Martyr. A worthy addition to the very handsome project of the Library.

—Studi di Teologia

Among the most polemical of Martyr’s works, the texts presented here are part of the turbulent period in England during the times of Edward VI and Archbishop Cranmer.     (SCE&S 56, PML 7)

A further volume of the admirable Peter Martyr Library continues the task of making this unjustly neglected central figure of  the Reformation accessible to modern readers.

—Journal of Theological Studies

This handy paperback is an anthology of chapters taken from each of the volumes of the series.

This volume is devoted to Vermigli’s philosophical writings, consisting of topics from commentaries with sections on “reason and revelation,” “body and soul,” “knowledge of God,” “providence, miracles, and responsibility,” and “freewill and predestination.”     (SCE&S 39, PML 4)

Predestination and justification are two of the most distinctive and familiar doctrines associated with the Protestant Reformation.     (SCE&S 68, PML 8)

This volume contains 297 prayers based on 149 Psalms written by Vermigli during the political and religious turmoil of the Reformation era.     (SCE&S 34, PML 3)
