The best libraries on the history of Protestantism in France are in Paris
(Société de l’histoire du Protestantisme français, 54 rue des Saint-Pères),
Geneva, Zürich, Basel, and Strassburg. The most important works are in
the library of the Union Theological Seminary at New York.
I. Ecclesiastical History of Protestantism in France.
*A. L. Herminjard: Correspondance des Réformateurs dans les pays
de langue française. Genève and Paris, 1866–1886. 7 vols. From 1512
to 1542. To be continued.
*Calvin’s Correspondence from 1528 to his death in 1564, in his
Opera, vols. X.–XX.
[*Theodore Beza.]: Histoire ecclésiastique des églises réformées au
royaume de France, from the beginning of the Reformation to the first
civil war (1521–1563). Anvers, 1580, 3 vols.; Toulouse, 1882, in 2
vols.; best ed. by BAUM, CUNITZ, and RODOLPHE REUSS, with ample
commentary and bibliographical notices. Paris (Fischbacher), 1883–
1889, 3 vols. Part of Les Classiques du Protestantisme français, XVI,
XVII, et XVIII siècles, published with the patronage of the Société de
l’histoire du Protestantisme français.
This work was formerly ascribed to Beza, but is a compilation by several
anonymous authors under the direction and with the co-operation of Beza.
Some portions are literally borrowed from Crespin’s “Martyrology.”
Senebier thinks that the first part was prepared by Beza, the other two
under his direction. See Soldan, I. 88; Heppe, Theod. Beza, p. 382 sq.; La
France Prot. (2d ed.), II. 535; and especially the notice bibliographique,
etc., of R. Reuss in the third volume of Baum’s edition.
