FOREWORD This volume is an attempt to help overcome a lamentable gap in English language Reformation studies by making available in English for the first time several important Reformation, pastoral and eucharistic writings of Huldrych Zwingli on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his birth.
This project and its antecedents have a long history.
At the end of the nineteenth century a complete edition of the works of Zwingli in English was envisioned by the father of North
American Zwingli studies, Professor Samuel Jackson of Union Theological Seminary, New York City. Under his direction a series of translations from the Latin was commissioned and many were carried out by the classical scholar, Henry Preble. Many of these were eventually published in the three volumes of Zwingli's Works.
Two of these volumes were published after Professor Jackson's death. The materials for a fourth volume of the eucharistic writings of Zwingli lay in Preble's handwritten manuscripts in a metal box in an office in Union Seminary.
In the 1960's they were in the office of Professor Robert Handy who told Professor Ford Lewis Battles of their existence.
In 1976 Professor Battles and now Professor Pipkin went to New York where they investigated the Preble materials.
It was decided that the materials were valuable, but that they would in fact require substantial revising in order to bring them into alignment with both theological language and the English of the mid-twentieth century.
With Professor Handy's permission they were taken, and Pipkin transcribed them into typescript.
Copies of these transcripts now lie in Ruschlikon, at Princeton Theological Seminary and at Calvin Theological Seminary.
Professor Handy told Professor Battles that it was hoped that the materials could one day be published and that the only restriction was that they be published by responsible scholars.
Professor Battles contacted a team of scholars, including the editors of this two-volume set of Zwingli's writings, with the intention of publishing the Preble materials along with the other writings of Zwingli. xiii
The lack of financial support and the press of other projects prohibited the successful conclusion of the plans.
When the project was resurrected in 1979 it soon encountered a setback in the untimely death of Professor Battles.
It was hoped by the present writers, that it would be possible to carry forth the project to conclusion and to do it in memory of Professor
Battles. Fortunately, this has been made possible by the willingness of Dikran Y. Hadidian of Pickwick Publications and by the gracious support of the Emil Brunner-Stiftung of Zurich.
The two editors, both former students of Professor Ford Lewis Battles, joined together in the project and are now pleased to be able to make available this selection of the works of Zwingli. We dedicate the two volumes to the memory of our erstwhile mentor, Professor F. L. Battles.
The two editors have worked independently but have made every effort to overcome the distance between them by frequent communication.
Edward J. Furcha assumed responsibility for the translating and editing of the Exposition in Volume I and for Divine and Human Righteousness and the Preaching Office in Volume II. H. Wayne Pipkin translated and edited the Shepherd and the Instruction and carefully revised and edited the eucharistic writings initially translated by Mr.
Preble.
This latter process was carried out in as painstaking a fashion as possible so that the content of those treatises now reflect, in the editors' opinion, the reforming and theological perspective of Zwingli in a way that the Victorian English of the handwritten manuscripts could not.
In addition, the editor of Volume II assumed the responsibility for editing the Preble treatises.
Both editors were available to the other for consultation and each has read carefully the work of the other and has made appropriate suggestions.
It was our goal to present translations that were true to their original, but which, in the final analysis, were to be English language documents and not just German or Latin documents with English words.
Such was the legacy of Professor Battles as translator and editor.
The annotations are intended to provide necessary information for understanding the content of the treatises and we have sought, where possible, to make notice of the classical, patristic, and other sources of the writings. This has been particularly important for the Latin writings of Zwingli, for it is in these that Zwingli the humanist most clearly emerges. Whenever possible we have sought to insert references into the text itself and have done so consistently with scripture references and occasional references to other writings of Zwingli or Luther. We have sought to give reference to many technical expressions and classical allusions by citing standard reference works such as those of Otto, Wander, and the now completed Oxford Latin Dictionary.
The latter source is often given in the annotations in order to alert the reader to possible classical sources of the person, expression or proverb cited.
Whenever possible we have used standard, XIV
printed editions.
In a few cases, such as Erasmus'
Latin Bible translation, published in Basel in 1522, no current edition exists.
In these cases the editors have been grateful for the rich resources of the Zurich libraries, which often contain the first edition and, sometimes, the autograph.
It is to be noted that we have not merely taken over the annotations of the critical text, however helpful they have been.
Every citation has been personally checked.
In this way, we found it possible to correct minor errors and to make other allusions that were not possible at an earlier time.
For the most part, however, it must be said that the critical text of the works of Zwingli is a model of historical and theological scholarship and we are grateful for it. Reformation scholars are indebted to several generations of Zwingli researchers who have produced these useful volumes.
In the citation of scripture references the verses have been inserted even though they were not so rendered by Zwingli.
Where Zwingli did not cite a scriptural source himself, these have been inserted in brackets.
For the most part, space limitations have prohibited our making extensive bibliographical references.
It is believed that the standard bibliographies by Finsler, Pipkin and Gabler and the fruitful work of Locher make such citations unnecessary in a work of this kind.
Special appreciation is extended to Professor Fritz Busser and the governing board of the Emil Brunner-Stiftung of Zurich for their grant which helps make possible the publication of this two-volume set.
