Act

Wolfgang Gundling, like his grandfather Franziskus Gundling, strongly advocated Protestantism. During his studies he wrote several disputations. So he disputed in Altdorf about his Professor Reinbar's Synopsia theol. Christian. Dogmaticae . De aemulatione followed in 1661 , before he wrote the dissertation de idololatria with Johann Conrad Dürr in 1663 . He also wrote de Tito Flavio Domitiano and Eustradii Johanis Zialovsky Rutheni brevem delincationem Ecclesiae orientalis graecae cum notis in the Altdorf period in 1681 . The writings Observationes and Canones graeci concilii Laodiceni cum versionibus Gentiani Herveti, Dionysii Exigui, Isidori Mercatoris, et observationibus were published in Nuremberg in 1684, the latter being added to the Catholic index librorum prohibitorum in 1758 by decree of Pope Benedict XIV .

Not all of his writings were published before his death, so the Canones concilii Gangrensis were published by his son Nikolaus Hieronymus Gundling in 1695.
