There came also from Italy, Bernardus Ochinus, of Siena, and the more famous Peter Martyr (Vermilius), from Florence, the latter having, however, more recently been lecturing in Oxford, where he had been suspended from his lectureship on the accession of Queen Mary. A companion to Martyr was John Jewell, also from Oxford, who, later, became a bishop. Names like the above will give an impression of the character of the circle in which Estienne now found himself. It was not only for the scholar a personal gratification to be thrown into association with intellectual leaders skilled in critical and theological learning, but it must also have been of no little service for the reorganisation of his publishing business to have at hand a group of advisers and of editors who would have a keen personal interest in a large proportion at least of his scholarly undertakings. The following titles of the more important publications issued by Robert after the establishment of the Geneva Press will give an impression of the general direction taken by his business. 1552. “Ad Censuras Theologorum Parisiensium, quibus Biblia a Roberto Stephano Typographo Regio excusa calumniose notarunt, ejusdem Roberti Stephani Responsio.” The “Response” was also printed in French. In his “Histoire Critique du Nouveau Testament,” Father Simon, a good Catholic authority, has entered into a minute examination of the points at issue between Robert and his accusers, and his decisions are almost uniformly in favour of the publisher.[20] 1553. “La Bible,” in folio. “Catéchisme,” by Jean Calvin. “La Forme des Prières Ecclésiastiques.” With these were a number of other devotional and doctrinal treatises printed under the immediate direction of Calvin. These treatises, being planned for popular circulation, were largely printed in French, and the Geneva list includes, in fact, a much larger proportion of works in the vernacular than had been issued in Paris. 1554. “In Genesin Commentarius Calvini.” “Exposition Continuelle sur les Evangiles.” “Ambrosii Calepini Dictionarium.” “Defensio Orthodoxæ Fidei de Sacra Trinitate, contra prodigiosos errores Michælis Serveti Hispani, ubi ostenditur hæreticos jure gladii cœrcendos esse, et nominatim de homine hoc tam impio justi et merito sumptum Genevæ fuisse Supplicium, per Johannem Calvinum.” “De Hæreticis a Civili Magistratu puniendis Libellus, Theodori Bezæ.”
