Works Cited
WORKS CITED
In this works cited list, we have tried to cite the latest edition before 1611 (the year in which this volume was first published). Not all the works Gerhard cites could be located. Some of the entries below are printed in bold text. This means the book was in the Gerhard library, as found in Johann Anselm Steiger, ed., Bibliotheca Gerhardina: Rekonstruktion der Gelehrten- und Leihbibliothek Johann Gerhards (1582–1637) und seines Sohnes Johann Ernst Gerhard (1621–1668) (Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt: Frommannholzboog, 2002). However, because this library was collected not only by Johann Gerhard but also by his son Johann Ernst Gerhard, and because we do not know when he acquired these books or whether he preferred to use a borrowed book, care should be taken in drawing conclusions from this data.
Authors are generally alphabetized by family name. Since the last name of some authors is not a family name, but the name of a location (e.g., Thomas Aquinas), readers should check to see whether the author is alphabetized by a name other than the last name.
The key below corresponds to the abbreviations employed in either the full title or the English title columns on the following pages. Also included is a list of abbreviations commonly found in the citations and in the footnotes in this volume.
