This article intends to investigate the impact of developments on the work of one particular member of the Reformed tradition, Immanuel Tremellius. There are a number of reasons why Tremellius is a valuable case-study. It made a viable challenge to the position of the Vulgate, and in doing so helped to break the dependence of the Reformed tradition on its Catholic heritage. Secondly, his edition of the Psalms was produced as a separate volume on at least one occasion. Third, it is clear that Tremellius may be closely linked with a number of most prominent commentators on the Psalms within the Reformed context. It seeks to understand how Tremellius conceived of what he did and the distinguishing characteristics of his approach within the broader spectrum of sixteenth-century biblical scholarship. In Tremellius and Junius' edition of the Old Testament, the Psalms appear in the third volume which contain the biblical books.
