"While the size and subject matter might intimidate some readers at first glance, the collection is quite engaging […]. It will be of interest not only to biblical scholars and professors of theology, but also to historians, philosophers, philologists and those interested in the history of higher education. […] This volume certainly reveals for readers the dynamism of Peter Martyr Vermigli’s thought and makes a convincing argument that a better understanding of the hermeneutics of this Italian-born Protestant reformer will lead to a better understanding of the Renaissance and the Reformation and the relationship between the two." - Carrie Euler, Central Michigan University, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 62, No. 2 (April 2011), pp. 397-398"Der Companion to Peter Martyr Vermigli lässt sich sowohl als Einleitung zu einzelnen Aspekten als auch als Darstellung des Forschungsstandes nutzen […].Das Buch gibt einen sehr guten Überblick über die wesentlichen Aspekte der Theologie und des Wirkens Vermiglis." - Christoph Strohm, Heidelberg University, in: Zwingliana, Vol. 37 (2010), pp. 205-209"Après les colloques de 1977 et de 1999, ce symposium fera date dans les études sur Vermigli, comme ce volume, outil désormais indispensable, par la somme des informations, la qualité des contributions et le soin apporté à sa confection, à quiconque voudrait consacrer ses talents de chercheur à ce Réformateur novateur et prolixe, ou s’initier simplement à l’herméneutique de Vermigli." - A. Noblesse-Rocher, Université de Strasbourg, in: Revue D’histoire et de Philosophie, Tome 91, n° 4 (2011), p. 587
