Description

John Foxes Book of Martyrs is a riveting English Protestant narrative detailing the tortures and triumphs of Protestants who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs. Premiered in 1563 by John Day, this work was Britains largest publishing project at the time. Adorned with numerous woodcuts, Foxes Book of Martyrs offers an intimate view into the trials of the early Christian and Protestant martyrs. Despite its original size, which was twice as long as Edward Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, this version has been significantly condensed. Experience the gripping tales of courage and faith that have echoed through the centuries.
