ABSTRACT
The time that Tremellius spent in Heidelberg also saw the publication of his two most important works, his Latin editions of the New and Old Testaments. Both were works of great skill and erudition, but arguably what is more significant is that they were also remarkably successful and influential texts. As such they consequently form the most significant component of his published output, and his most lasting contribution to the early modern period. It is the aim of the following two chapters to subject these works to more detailed analysis. In particular, it is my intention to offer a characterisation of each of these volumes, based primarily on the annotations with which Tremellius supplemented each; in this way I hope to identify what he sought to achieve in the composition of these works, and thereby to come to a fuller understanding of both him, and his contribution to the scholarship of the time.
