Abstract
Peter Martyr Vermigli is still largely unrecognized among the spiritual fathers of the Protestant Reformation. His career is neatly divided by his flight to Zürich in 1542. Prior to that, one can see the fruits of his superb philosophical and theological education in Italy, which manifested themselves primarily through scriptural commentary and Aristotelian exegesis. Afterwards, he participated – and always at the forefront of the debate – in increasingly harsher controversies ranging from liturgy to the Eucharistic doctrine. In his last years, beginning in 1556, Vermigli finally settled as a Hebraist, teaching in a prestigious and non-Lutheran academic stronghold.
