Overview

In this volume, F. A. Cox examines the life of the great scholar and reformer, Philip Melanchthon, with an object “to render Melanchthon more fully known, that his character may be more completely understood and more justly appreciated.” Working chronologically, Cox furnishes “a detailed view of his life and labors in connection with other eminent men of his remarkable age.”
