Cyprian Cyprian (Latin: "Thaschus Cæcilius Cyprianus" ; 200 – September 14, 258 AD) was bishop of Carthage and a notable Early Christian writer of Berber descent, many of whose Latin works are extant. He was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received a classical education. Soon after converting to Christianity, he became a bishop in 249. A controversial figure during his lifetime, his strong pastoral skills, firm conduct during the Novatianist heresy and outbreak of the plague, and eventual martyrdom at Carthage vindicated his reputation and proved his sanctity in the eyes of the Church. His skillful Latin rhetoric led to his being considered the pre-eminent Latin writer of Western Christianity until Jerome and Augustine. The Plague of Cyprian is named after him, owing to his description of it.

Peter Martyr Vermigli Peter Martyr Vermigli (8 September 1499 – 12 November 1562) was an Italian-born Reformed theologian. His early work as a reformer in Catholic medieval Italy and decision to flee for Protestant northern Europe influenced many other Italians to convert and flee as well. In England, he influenced the Edwardian Reformation, including the Eucharistic service of the 1552 "Book of Common Prayer". He was considered an authority on the Eucharist among the Reformed churches, and engaged in controversies on the subject by writing treatises. Vermigli's "Loci Communes", a compilation of excerpts from his biblical commentaries organized by the topics of systematic theology, became a standard Reformed theological textbook.

Alexander Carpenter Alexander Carpenter, Latinized as Fabricius ("fl." 1429), was the author of the "Destructorium viciorum", a religious work popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some published editions of the work bear the author's name as ""Alexander Anglus"" ("Alexander the Englishman"), but he is further identified in a 1496 edition which states that the work was compiled ""a cuiusdam fabri lignarii filio"" -- "by a certain son of a worker of wood," "i.e.", a carpenter's son. This identifier also states that the work was begun in 1429, which rules out authorship by Alexander of Hales ("ca." 1185-1245) which had by some scholars been considered a possibility. Alexander Carpenter authored other works, termed "Homiliae eruditae" ("Learned Sermons"), but they are not at present known.

Raphael Regius Raphael Regius (or Raffaele Regio) (c. 1440 – 1520) was a Venetian humanist, who was active first in Padua, where he made a reputation as one of the outstanding Classical scholars, then in Venice, where he moved in the periphery of an elite group composed of a handful of publicly sanctioned scholars, salaried lecturers employed by the Serenissima itself: on the fringes of this elite world also moved the scholar-printer Aldus Manutius (Lowry 1979). The most famous achievement of Regius is his demonstration that the "Rhetorica ad C. Herennium", or "Rhetorica secunda", was not written by Cicero, a milestone in the development of textual criticism. His bitter rivalry with other scholars and scorn for the ""semidocti"" reflect familiar competitive strains in the sometimes vituperative temper of Renaissance humanism.
