Hello,
I was interested in reading Oecolampadius’ “De genuina verborum Domini: Hoc est corpus meum”, his treatise on the Lord’s Supper (published in 1525

Is there an English or German translation available of the Latin text? I’ve tried locating one, but so far I haven’t had any luck. Thank you.

Since listening to this episode and reading Dr. Poythress book, I have found:
Sermons on the First Epistle of John: (A Handbook for the Christian Life) translated by Timothy Matthew Slemmons
and
An Exposition of Genesis (Biblical Series) by Johann Oecolampadius translated by Mickey L. Mattox.

Is there any comment on the quality of these editions?

I’m glad the link was tweeted today- had not seen the book nor heard the podcast. So, thanks!

This really was a fantastic episode. It has inspired me to use the Post-Reformation Digital Library to dig up some of the old Latin manuscripts of Oecolampadius.

This was a wonderful interview. I really appreciate the work that Dr. Poythress had done. We can only hope more work will be done on this reformer.

Fascinating program. It makes me wonder how much research on the early reformers is out there remaining to be investigated and/or translated into English.

I found the following which may be of interest for further reading:

There is a brief biography in the appendix.
