- “Zanardi, Mich., O.P., Italian (1570-1642), wrote, besides other things, Directorium theologorum ac confessariorum, 3 volumes in 8vo, Cremona and Venice 1612-1614. He seems to be an author too benign in moral matters.” — Prümmer, Catalogue of authors
- “Zanardus Michael, Italian, an author too benign, born 1570, died 1641.” — Haringer's index of writers (Gury-Ballerini) (p. XXXIII, sign read on the page)
His Moral System, as Our Authors Report It
Every report quoted in the author's own words and linked to its place; point at a name to see his words. Haringer's signs give St. Alphonsus's judgment as Haringer found it in St. Alphonsus's works (his notice, Gury-Ballerini, 1884, p. XI); a sign on a writer the 1884 editor added to the list is the editor's own, and is said to be his.

| “This probabilistic doctrine being admitted, Christians can straightway abolish the greatest part of the natural, divine, and civil laws. Let them take up the books of Diana, of Zanardi, of Candidus, of Tamburini, of Escobar, of Gobat, of La-Croix, of Viva. Let them gather a most numerous catalogue of the opinions which are probably disputed on both sides concerning natural, divine, and human law.”Concina names his books as storehouses of opinions controverted on both sides, which probabilism would make laws no longer binding | Concina, Compendium II, diss. II, ch. VII, n. XII |
| Too benign in his opinions | |
| “He seems to be an author too benign in moral matters”Prümmer: too benign | Prümmer, Catalogue of authors |
