This article lacks a lot of information regarding Calixtus' life and works. As starting points:
Consensus quinquesaecularis was not a term favoured by Calixtus himself. It was coined by one of his opponents, Johann Dorsche;
Calixtus' educational tours from 1609-1612 were much more important for him than is acknowledged in this article. During these tours he met many prominent intellectuals, including influential humanists such as Jan Gruter, Isaac Casaubon, and Jacques-August de Thou, as well as many Lutheran, Reformed, and Roman Catholic theologians;
Calixtus' involvement in the syncretistic controversy could be fleshed out. See the entry on Syncretism/Syncretistic Controversies by Paul Tschackert in the New Schaff-Herzog Religious Encyclopedia, available freely online;
Calixtus is acknowledged as a vital force in the evolution of post-Reformation theology. Among other things, he wrote the first moral theology in Lutheranism and was one of the first to separate faith from theology.
