Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) was Martin Luther's closest coworker in leading the Lutheran Reformation. He proclaimed with Luther the central Reformation teaching, that sinful people are justified before God by grace through faith in Christ alone, and he was often the leading Reformation theologian at important meetings since Luther was outlawed. Melanchthon was a leading scholar who rode the crest of the most prominent educational reform movement. His influence was largely felt through his pen, including prolific writings in these areas: the Augsburg Confession and its Apology, systematic theology, biblical commentaries, text books, poetry, philosophy, rhetoric, history, logic, astronomy, botany, government and education. In the Reformation movement, he represents the best in scholarship, balance and conciliation. We stand in humble reverence and gratefulness to God for Philipp Melanchthon's life, work and witness as we make use of this library in his memory to the glory of God. (by Dr. Stephen Oliver)

墨蘭頓(1497-1560)乃是馬丁‧路德領導信義宗改教運動時最為重要的同工。他與路德一同傳講改教的核心信息—罪人唯獨藉恩典，透過信靠耶穌基督，而在上帝面前被稱為義。當路德之身份權益遭受神聖羅馬帝國剝奪之際，他也挺身而出，帶領改教神學家們參與重要會議。此外，墨蘭頓在教育改革運動中，同樣也是最為出類拔萃的傑出學者。透過他豐富多樣的文字筆觸，其影響力不言可喻，包括：奧斯堡信條及辯護論、系統神學、聖經註釋、教科書、詩集、哲學、修辭學、歷史、邏輯、天文學、植物學、政府治理和教育等。在改教運動當中，無論是學術、立場中道而不流於偏鋒，以及爭端之斡旋調停等方面，他都扮演著極佳的角色。當我們以墨蘭頓為本校圖書資訊中心命名，以記念他之同時，我們亦是為其生平、工作與見證，謙卑地向上主獻上敬意與感激。（迻譯：陳冠賢）
