The Corpus Reformatorum (Corp. Ref., CR) ( Halle (Saale), 1834 sqq.), is the general Latin title given to a large collection of reformation writings. This collection, which runs to 101 volumes, contains reprints of the collected works of John Calvin, Philip Melanchthon, and Ulrich Zwingli, three of the leading protestant reformers.

History
The Corpus Reformatorum was founded through the efforts of German scholar and theologian Karl Gottlieb Bretschneider[1] who began planning for it sometime after 1827. From 1834 until his death in 1848, Bretschneider also served as its primary editor. Later volumes were edited by Heinrich Ernst Bindseil (1803-1876), Eduard Reuss (Reuß) (1804–1891), August Edward Cunitz (Caunitz) (1812 - ? ), Johann Wilhelm (Guilielmus) (William) Baum (1806-1878) et.al.
