In his book ''Itinerarium'' (Travel diary from 1708 — 1709) written in [[Latin]], [[Lutheran]] [[theologian]] Daniel Krman described the Lutheran seminary in Königsberg as being infiltrated by theologians siding with syncretism.  He pointed out that if doctors of theology would honor values expressed by Latin phrase ''Diligite veritatem et pacem'' (love truth and peace), there would be not so many syncretists in academia, who were enlisted and criticized also by the chief orthodox opponent of syncretism<ref>{{cite web |title=Lutheran Orthodoxy Under Fire: An Exploratory Study Of The Syncretistic Controversy And The Consensus Repetitus Fidei Vere Lutheranae

|quote=It is fairly safe to assume that Abraham Calov(ius) (1612-1686), the Consensus Repetitus Fidei Vere Lutheranae (hereafter CRFVL), and Georg Calixt(us) (1586-1656) are not household vocabulary in much of contemporary Lutheranism. Yet, all played a prominent and important role in the 17th century syncretist controversy. History has hardly been kind to Abraham Calov, the chief orthodox opponent of syncretism.
