CHAPTER 7.
THE PREPARATORY WORK. FROM 1526 TO 1536.
§ 58. LITERATURE ON CALVIN AND THE REFORMATION IN
FRENCH SWITZERLAND.
Important documents relating to the Reformation in French Switzerland
are contained in the Archives of Geneva and Bern. Many documents have
been recently published by learned Genevese archaeologists, as Galiffe,
father and son, Grénus, Revilliod, E. Mallet, Chaponnière, Fick, and the
Society of History and Archaeology of Geneva.
The best Calvin libraries are in the University of Geneva, where his MSS.
are preserved in excellent order, and in the St. Thomasstift at Strassburg.
The latter was collected by Profs. Baum, Cunitz, and Reuss, the editors of
Calvin’s Works, during half a century, and embraces 274 publications of
the Reformer (among them 36 Latin and 18 French editions of the
Institutio), many rare contemporary works, and 700 modern books bearing
upon Calvin and his Reformation. The Society of the History of French
Protestantism in Paris (64 rue des saints pères) has a large collection of
printed works.
