    One problem is that very little of this has English translations that are in the public domain.

    Some works of Melanchthon, Chemnitz and Gerhard are available in Logos from Concordia...

    I wish that Logos could get in some agreement with Repristination Press, since they have privately made relatively recent translations of our Orthodox Fathers.

    I am aware of only two 19th century editions...

    1) Wm. Loehe had an edition of Hunnius's Epitome translated into English, printed in Germany, and shipped to Lutherans in the US.  https://archive.org/details/cu31924029460460

    2) In the Predestination Controversy an edition of Pfeiffer's Anti-Calvinism was published by Ohio Synod... http://books.google.com/books?id=QdErAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

    Of course, if you are comfortable with Latin texts, quite a bit is available.  Heck - if your German is pretty good, more is available.

    To your list I would like to add that Logos should have an edition of the Sermons of Luther.  The American Edition only has selections.  About a century ago there was an English translation of both Postil's by Lutherans of all Lands, and in pawing through my congregation's library, I saw that there is a more recent translation as well...
