FOXS BOOK OF MARTYRS- A HISTORY OF THE LIVES, SUFFERINGS AND TRIUMPHANT DEATHS OF THE EARLY CHRISTIAN AND THE PROTESTANT MARTYRS Edited by WILLIAM BYRON FORBUSH. Originally published in 1926. FOXS BOOK OF MARTYRS: When one recollects that until the appearance of the Pilgrims Progress the common people had almost no other reading matter except the Bible and Foxs Book of Martyrs, we can understand the deep impression that this book produced and how it served to mold the national character. Those who could read for themselves learned the full details of all the atrocities performed on the Protes tant reformers the illiterate could see the rude illustrations of the various instruments of torture, the rack, the gridiron, the boiling oil, and then the holy ones breathing out their souls amid the flames. Take a people just awakening to a new intellectual and religious life let several generations of them, from childhood to old age, pore over such a book, and its stories become traditions as individual and almost as potent as songs and customs on a nations life DOUGLAS CAMPBELL, The Puritan in Holland, England, and America. c If we divest the book of its accidental character of feud between churches, it yet stands, in the first years of Elizabeths reign, a mon ument that marks the growing strength of a desire for spiritual freedom, defiance of those forms that seek to stifle conscience and fetter thought HENRY MORLEY, English Writers. After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced early-Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our own time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an arsenal of controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well as a source of edification. JAMES MILLER DODDS, English Prose.

Not illustrated. 1812 edition. Excerpt: ...and of compassion; I would reign over you, Cymodocea, because man is made for empire; but I would love you as a cluster of grapes which the traveller finds in a scorching desert." Poets and painters represent Cupid with a bandage over bis eyes. So Milton, from whom our author seems to have borrowed some parts of his description.-" For contemplation he, and valour form'd; For softness she, and sweet attractive grace; He for God only, she for God in him. His fair large front and eye sublime declar'd Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks Round from his parted forelock many hung Clust'ing, but not beneath his shoulders broad; She, as a veil, down to the slender waist Her unadorned golden tresses wore Dishevel'd, but in wanton ringlets waved, As the vine curls her tendrils, which imply'd Subjection, but required with gentle sway, And by her yielded, by him best receiv'd. the loveliest pair That ever since in love's embraces met j Adam the goodliest man of men since born His eons, the fairest of her daughters Eve." Paradise Lost, b. iv, 1. 29?. At these words Cymodocea shed tears of modesty and of tenderness. " Warrior," said she, " thy words are sweet, but they are piercing. I see well that the Christians can speak the language of the heart. My soul acknowledges the truth of all that thou hast said. Let thy religion be mine, since it teaches me to love with increased affection!" Eudorus, regarding nothing more than his love and his faith: " Oh, Cymodocea, that you would become a Christian; I should give a matchless angel to heaven, and obtain a sweet companion for my earthly pilgrimage!" Cymodocea inclined her head, and answered: " I dare speak no more until you have taught me modesty: she abandoned the earth with Nemesis; the Christians...

Following the end of the Soviet Union, the Russian Orthodox Church has canonized a great number of Russian saints. Whereas in the first millennium of Russian Christianity (988-1988) the Church recognized merely 300 Russian saints, the number had grown to more than 2,000 by 2006. This book explores the remarkable phenomenon of new Russian martyrdom. It outlines the process of canonization, examines how saints are venerated, and relates all this to the ways in which the Russian state and its people have chosen to remember the Soviet Union and commemorate the victims of its purges. The book includes in-depth case studies of particular saints and examines the diverse ways in which they are venerated.

This volume deals with the presentation of the so-called Maccabean martyrs and the elder Razis in 2 and 4 Maccabees, discussing the religious, the political as well as the philosophical aspects of noble death in these writings. It argues that the theme of martyrdom is a very important part of the self-image of the Jews as presented by the authors of both works. Eleazar, the anonymous mother with her seven sons and Razis should, therefore, be considered heroes of the Jewish people. The first part of the book discusses the sources and the second part deals with the descriptions of noble death. This section of the book also offers extensive discussions of related non-Jewish traditions which highlight the political-patriotic dimension of noble death as described in 2 and 4 Maccabees.
