Does anyone know whether Campeius Vitringa's commentary on Isaiah's has been translated into English and, whether in English or not, where I might be able to find a copy (online or hardcopy)?

I wondered the same when I preached through some of Isaiah years ago. According to Brevard Childs, as late as 1999 it had not been translated. Childs did write an excellent chapter on Vitringa's commentary, which can be read on Google Books here: In Search of True Wisdom: Essays in ... - Google Book Search

Here is a brief portion of the massive work. Latin starts on 160; English translation follows a few pages later. It's not much, but it's something.

They who perceive in themselves discoveries of the divine goodness, so full and absolutely perfect, and who make them the subject of earnest meditation, will never embrace new doctrines, by which the very grace they feel so powerfully in themselves is thrown into the shade. --John Calvin

Thanks very much, gentlemen!

Google books has the whole book in Latin only. They do have other of his works in English.

"Whatever the cause, the Calvinists were the only fighting Protestants. It was they whose faith gave them courage to stand up for the Reformation. In England, Scotland, France, Holland, they,... did the work, and but for them the Reformation would have been crushed... If it had not been for Calvinists,... and whatever you like to call them, the Pope and Philip would have won, and we should either be Papists or Socialists." ~ Sir John Skelton

This is another classic by Vitringa which I found in October on Internet Archive:

Vitringa on the Synagogue

Really? Can you send me a link to that? I couldn't find it there at all.

Andrew: I found a few booksellers that sell hardcopies of it (Latin), but the cheapest one is $376; most are about $420. Let me know if you want some links.

My pastor is in possession of this volume and is considering translating the massive work into English. I think he would want to find someone interested in printing it before doing the translation, though. So, if anyone knows anyone . . .

Have him contact Reformation Heritage Books, as they are always looking for classics texts to publish into English.

Puritan lovers like us should take up a collection to help finance the translation and publishing. Perhaps a subscription like the way Gill's Commentaries were re-printed by Baptist Standard Bearer.
