Letters

 

This survey of letters from and to Zanchi (and a few letters related to Zanchi) is based on the publication of Zanchi's correspondence, Epistolarum Theologicarum libri II, in Operum Theologicorum D. Hieronymi Zanchii, Tomus Octavus (1619), 35-205. Transcriptions of the letters between Zanchi and Theodore Beza (1519-1605) drawn from the same source can be found here. These resources have been made available by the kind permission of Mr. Dolf te Velde of Kampen, The Netherlands.

The rendering of names, dates and places in this list follows the original as closely as possible; when they could be unambiguously identified, the common English word is chosen. If date and place were not explicitly given, it was sometimes possible to deduce them from the contents of the letter. We can assume that the letters by Zanchi himself were published on the basis of the copies he stored for his own archive. It should be noticed that the 1619 edition of Zanchi's correspondence does not follow a fully consistent order of arrangement: in most cases, letters to and from the same person or related to the same subject were put together, while the chronological order is often distorted.  The list contains a brief indication of the contents of each letter, which makes it easier to select letters for further scrutiny.

 

We are also able to make available a number of letters that have been translated into English by the Parker Society and published in The Zurich Letters, (second series) Comprising the orrespondence of Several English Bishops and Others with some of the Helvetian Reformers, During the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, (Cambride, 1845).
