2018 Reprint of 1926 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. The Actes and Monuments, popularly known as Fox's Book of Martyrs, is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by John Foxe, first published in English in 1563 by John Day. It includes a Protestant account of the sufferings of Protestants under the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on England and Scotland. The book was highly influential in those countries and helped shape lasting popular notions of Catholicism there. The book went through four editions in Foxe's lifetime and as well as a number of later editions and abridgements, including some that specifically reduced the text to a Book of Martyrs. Published early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, only five years after the death of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary, the work is an affirmation of the Protestant Reformation in England during the ongoing period of religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. Contents: History of Christian martyrs to the first general persecution under Nero -- The ten primitive persecutions -- Persecutions of the Christians in Persia -- Papal persecutions -- An account of the Inquisition -- An account of the persecutions in Italy under the papacy -- An account of the life and persecutions of John Wycliffe -- An account of the persecutions in Bohemia under the papacy -- An account of the life and persecutions of Martin Luther -- General persecutions in Germany -- An account of the persecutions in the Netherlands -- The life and story of the true servant and martyr of God, William Tyndale -- An account of the life of John Calvin -- An account of the persecutions in Great Britain and Ireland, prior to the reign of Queen Mary I -- An account of the persecutions in Scotland during the reign of Henry VIII -- Persecutions in England during the reign of Queen Mary -- Rise and progress of the Protestant religion in Ireland; with an account of the barbarous massacres of 1641 -- The rise, progress, persecutions, and sufferings of the Quakers -- An account of the life and persecutions of John Bunyan -- An account of the life of John Wesley -- Persecutions of the French Protestants in the south of France, during the years 1814 and 1820 -- The beginnings of American foreign missions.
