Works Cited
WORKS CITED
In this list, the authors that Gerhard cites are underlined; but when the author is unknown, the short title for the work is underlined instead. Then, the text at the beginning of each line is the abbreviation of the work that Gerhard cites. After the dot we give the full title and publication information of an edition that Gerhard could have cited; though sometimes, when the collected works of an author are listed, we list a modern edition here. (Often a modern edition is listed in parentheses.) After the next dot we give an English translation if there is one.
We have tried to cite the latest edition before 1613 (the year in which this volume was 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: Frommann-holzboog, 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.
