Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a comprehensive and detailed account of the lives and deaths of Christian martyrs throughout history, written by John Foxe. The book covers the period from the early days of the Christian church to the Reformation era and beyond. It includes stories of individuals who were persecuted and killed for their faith, including famous figures such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, and Thomas Cranmer. The book also provides historical context and background information on the political and religious events that led to the persecution of Christians. Foxe's Book of Martyrs is considered an important work of English literature and a significant historical document of the Protestant Reformation.Under the Roman emperors, commonly called the Era of the Martyrs, was occasioned partly by the increasing number and luxury of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.
