Though he isn't as well known as Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli, Martin Bucer was a significant Reformer "who influenced Lutheran, Calvinist, and Anglican doctrines and practices." I would like to get to know more about him and read some of his writings. Logos doesn't have anything by or about him except some various catena-type bits collected in the Reformation Commentary on Scripture and small biographical summaries of his life and work in encyclopedias and such.

I would like to see you try to get some of these:

By Bucer:

By Martin Bucer in Latin (Faithlife should commission translations if they've never been translated yet):

Martin Bucer in German (Faithlife should commission translations if they've never been translated yet):

About Bucer:

...and all of this was discovered because Calvin said in his Preface to his Commentary on the Psalms that Martin Bucer "had laboured in this field with such singular learning, diligence, fidelity, and success, that at least there was not so great need that I should put my hand to the work." So I was looking for Martin Bucer's commentary on the Psalms, if he had written one, and found all of this stuff instead. Smile Oh, and I did finally find his commentary on the Psalms, published under a pseudonym. That sneaky fellow!
