ALSO KNOWN AS: Actes and Monuments of the (Christian) Church

A history of the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of the early Christian and Protestant Martyrs by John Foxe (1516 - 1587 A.D.), edited by William Byron Forbush (1868 - 1927 A.D.).

An English Protestant account of the persecutions of Christians, many of whom had died for their beliefs within the decade immediately preceding the first publication of such events.

It was first published by John Day, in 1563. Lavishly illustrated with many woodcuts, it was the largest publishing project undertaken in Britain up to that time. Commonly known as, "Foxe's Book of Martyrs", the work's full title begins with "Actes and Monuments of these Latter and Perillous Days, Touching Matters of the Church." There were many subsequent editions, by Day, and by other editors throughout the years. Foxe's original work was enormous, and the second edition filled two heavy folio volumes with a total of 2,300 pages, about twice as long as Edward Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." This audio edition is a heavily condensed version of Foxe's original.
