Foxe's Book of Martyrs

Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a historical account of Christian martyrs throughout history, written by John Foxe in the 16th century. The book chronicles the persecution and suffering endured by Christians who refused to renounce their faith, from the time of the apostles to the Protestant Reformation. Foxe's work is a comprehensive and detailed account of the lives and deaths of these martyrs, and includes vivid descriptions of their trials and tribulations, as well as their unwavering commitment to their beliefs. The book also provides a detailed history of the Catholic Church's persecution of Protestants during the Reformation, and the resulting conflicts between the two groups. Foxe's Book of Martyrs is considered a seminal work in Christian history, and has been widely read and studied for centuries.Under the Roman emperors, commonly called the Era of the Martyrs, was occasioned partly by the increasing number and luxury of the Christians, and the hatred of Galerius, the adopted son of Diocletian, who, being stimulated by his mother, a bigoted pagan, never ceased persuading the emperor to enter upon the persecution, until he had accomplished his purpose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
