The Public Disputations
Jacob Arminius · Leiden, 1603–1609
Arminius presided over 61 public disputations at Leiden. 25 were collected in his Opera and have long been in English. The other 36 were left out, and were gathered again by Keith Stanglin in 2010, in the original languages. This edition sets each printed text beside what is, as far as we know, the first published English translation, thesis by thesis, freely licensed.
10 of the 61 are online, all as drafts. The translations have not had their final review, and the Latin has not yet been collated against the original separate printings. What that means, and what is still to come, is on the About page.
