Blog Mission Statement

My purpose in starting this blog is to make the Latin text of Johann Gerhard’s Confessio Catholica readily available and perhaps speed up its translation. I have found the work very hard to come by as it is more often than not in the rare book collection of various university and seminary libraries.

Hopefully I will be heading to the University of Minnesota on September 3-4 to make digital photographs of Confessio Catholica in their rare book collection.

Over time I will type the Latin text and post it along with the digital images. This will be a massive project that may take several years due to the size of the work and time constraints (I believe the work is around 1,600 pages).
