II: Augustanam Confessionem ejusque Apologiam (Augsburg Confession and it's Apology). III: Articlos Smalcaldicos (Smalcald Articles). IV & V: Utrumque Catechismum Lutheri (Luther's Two Catechisms) , and VI: Formum Concordia (Formula of Concord). The following is from an internet source: Christian Classics Ethereal Library: Carpzov studied in Wittenberg & He studied at the University of Wittenberg & Leipsic. "In 1632 he was appointed pastor at Meuselwitz and five years later became deacon at the Church of St. Thomas at Leipsic. In ten years he rose to the archdeaconry and received the additional appointments of assessor of the consistory and canon, having become professor of theology at the university in 1641, although his pastoral duties allowed him little time for teaching. He maintained a certain reserve in the syncretistic controversies of the period, and though in harmony with his colleague H?lsemann, he carried on a friendly correspondence with Calixtus and later with his pupil Titius. His most important work, which has won him the title of the father of symbolics, was his Isagoge in libros ecclesiarum Lutheranarum symbolicos (Leipsic, 1665), which was completed after his death by Olearius, general superintendent of Magdeburg." Very good condition.
