Looking for the bibliographical data for the first (Latin I would suppose?) edition of the Lectures of Ursinus on the Heidelberg Catechism. Any one?
 
Chris,

This was first published (I'm almost positive) in Geneva, Leyden and Neustadt in 1584, Cambridge in 1585, and London in 1586, all under the title Doctrinae Christianae compendium sive commentarii catechetici. You may want to take into consideration, however, that Richard Muller has (at least in one book) preferred to cite the 1612 printing, Explicationes catecheseos in Ursinus' works.

(Side note: I have a few papal references en route from the library: should be here in a day or two)

I looked up his bibliographic reference in Christ and the Decree, and these are his references for this work:

Ursinus, Zehcarias. Doctrinae Christianae Compendium. Oxford, 1585.

--. Explicationes catecheseos, in Opera vol 1.
(see below)

--. D. Zechariae Ursini theologi celeberrimi...opera theologica quibus orthodoxae religionis capita perspicue & breviter explicantur. 3 vols. Edited by Quirinius Reuter. Heidelberg, 1612
