de la Reformation - History of the Reformation of the Sixteenth Century - which was devoted to the earlier period of the movement in Germany, i.e., Martin Luther's time, at once earned a foremost place among modern French ecclesiastical historians, and was translated into most European languages. The second portion, The History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, dealing with reform in the French reformer's sphere, exhaustively treats the subject with the same scholarship as the earlier work, but the second volume did not meet with the same success. It is part of the subject Merle d'Aubigné was most competent to discuss, and was nearly completed at the time of his death. Such was the scope of Merle d'Aubigné's scholarship and his level of dedication, states church historian John Carrick, that Merle d'Aubigné " visited the major libraries of Central and Western Europe in order to read original documents in Latin, French, German, Dutch, and English." Among minor treatises authored by Merle d'Aubigné, the most important are his vindication of the character and the aims of Oliver Cromwell, and his sketch of the trendings of the Church of Scotland. Works His principal works are Discours sur étude de l'histoire du christianisme (Geneva, 1832) Le Luthéranisme et la Réforme (Paris, 1844) Germany, England and Scotland, or Recollections of a Swiss Pastor (London, 1848) Trois siècles de lutte en Ecosse, entre deux rois et deux royaumes; Le Protecteur ou la république d'Angleterre aux jours de Cromwell (Paris, 1848) Le Concile et l'infaillibilité (1870) Histoire de la Réformation au XVIe siècle (Paris, 1835–1853; new ed:, 1861–1862, in 5 vols.)
