^7. The principal holdings are in Bethel College in Kansas and Goshen College in Indiana. Corresponding collections for other American denominations deriving directly or indirectly from the Radical Reformation are the Schwenenfelder Library in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, and the Starr King School for the Ministry in Berkeley, California which houses the Unitariana collected over a life-time by Earl M. Wilbur.

^8. The publishers, through American Mennonite subvention of the still incomplete Mennonitisches Lexikon, acquired English-language publishing rights of the German work. The fresh articles and the often major revisions of the German articles in the light of subsequent research make the American publication more authoritative than the German original.

^9. This is a major Church historical publication. (Earlier the Goshen College Record carried comparable articles.) The first 25 volumes are indexed by Springer, Nelson P., MQR, XXVI (1952), 65–91Google Scholar; subsequent volumes in XXX (1956), 281–288. A more popular periodical, Mennonite Life, contains occasional historical articles and regularly lists in the April issue since 1947 all Anabaptist-Mennonite books and articles in non-Mennonite periodicals. The corresponding German periodical is the Mennonitische Geschichtsblätter (henceforth: MGB). Mention can be made here of corresponding American denominational periodicals: The Schwenkfeldian, The Proceedings of the Unitarian Historical Society, The Chronicle (American Baptist), The Review and Expositor (Southern Baptist), all of which occasionally present material on the Radical Reformation of the sixteenth century.

^10. His “Historiography of the Mennonites in the Netherlands” is a comprehensive account beginning with the primary and secondary literature of the sixteenth century. It was slightly enlarged and revised under the same title in MQR, XVIII (1944), 195–224Google Scholar and then further adapted as an article in ME, II, 758–765.

^11. This is a slightly altered version of what appeared as a companion piece to Krahn's article in ME, II, 751–758. This survey absorbs most of Bender's earlier surveys, e.g., “Recent Anabaptist Bibliographies,” MQR, XXIV (1950), 88–91.Google Scholar

Köhler's survey is entitled “Das Täufertum in der neueren kirchenhistorischen Forschung,” ARG, XXXVI (1940), 93–107Google Scholar; XIII (1941), 349–364; XXXIX (1943), 246–270; XLIV (1948), 164–186. Teufel's entitled “Täufertum und Quäkertum im Lichte der neueren Forschung,” actually gives almost attention to Quakers as such and treats only a few Spiritualists and Evangelical Rationalists. It appears in TR, new series, XII (1940), 99–179Google Scholar; XIII (1941), 21–57, 103–127, 183–197; XIV (1942), 27–52, 124–154; XV (1943), 56–80; XVII (1948), 161–181; XX (1952), 361–370.

^13. The book, supplemented by the other studies, will soon appear in English translation in the Beacon Press, Boston.

^14. An earlier work much more closely related to our theme than some of the more recent studies by philologists and Neerlandici is that of Loosjes, J., “De Invloed der Rederijkers op de Hervorming,” Stemmen voor Vaarheid en Vrede, XLVI (1909), 246, 359, 413, 609.Google Scholar

^28. There are scarcely any recent studies of Anabaptism in Germanic France. Since 1918 the Protestant community has had perhaps enough to do to vindicate the Protestant tradition in Strasbourg; and the Radicals have been left to slumber in the archives. Thus Hulsof's, AbrahamGeschiedenis van de Doopsgezinden te Straatsburg van 1525 tot 1557 (Amsterdam, 1905)Google Scholar remains unsurpassed. Mention can be made of the useful Inventaire des archives du chapitre de St. Thomas (1937) with Anabaptistica; Ritter, François, Histoire de l'imprimérie alsacienne aux XVe et XVIe siècle (Strasbourg, 1955)Google Scholar; Burg, A. M.'s Catholic Histoire de l'Eglise d'Alsace (Strasbourg, 1945)Google Scholar, and the corresponding Histoire du protestantisme en Alsace (Strasbourg, 1950)Google Scholar by Henri Strohl, neither of which makes more than passing references to the Anabaptists; Geiser, S., “Mennonites of Switzerland and France,” MQR, XI (1937), 44–60Google Scholar, largely modern; Mathiat, Charles, Récherches historiques sur les anabaptistes de l'ancienns principalité de Montbéliard (1922)Google Scholar, (since the Reformation Era).
