I have read that before.

I reread it.

It is an excellent treatise.

Yet, the word Calvinism never appears in it (that I saw).

Arminius is rejecting the Supra and Infra views on Predestination and taking a third view.

That view is a conditional one and cannot be seen as Calvinistic.

What am I missing?

You are missing that Arminius does not consider himself outside the boundaries of a host of confessions; nor does he ever claim to have left the reformation or claim to be part of any counter-reformation. His assumption throughout is that the reformation had formerly been broad enough to include him. He always appears to be assuming himself as a part of the group. Since this is a collection that was published approx 6 months before his death, then we can say with assurance that he never felt he was outside the group.
