Institutes of the Christian Religion
Vermigli is best known for the "Loci Communes" (Latin for "commonplaces"), a collection of the topical discussions scattered throughout his biblical commentaries. The "Loci Communes" was compiled by Huguenot minister Robert Masson and first published in 1576, fourteen years after Vermigli's death. Vermigli had apparently expressed a desire to have such a book published, and it was urged along by the suggestion of Theodore Beza. Masson followed the pattern of John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion" to organise it. Fifteen editions of the "Loci Communes" between 1576 and 1656 spread Vermigli's influence among Reformed Protestants. Anthony Marten translated the "Loci Communes" into English in 1583, adding to it considerably.
