By John Foxe

Book Overview

Martyrs Omitted By Foxe: Being Records Of Religious Persecutions In The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries is a book written by John Foxe and published in 1870. The book is a comprehensive record of religious persecutions that took place in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It includes accounts of the suffering and martyrdom of individuals who were persecuted for their religious beliefs during this period. The book is a follow-up to Foxe's earlier work, Actes and Monuments, commonly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs. While Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a well-known and widely-read account of religious persecution in England during the reign of Queen Mary I, it has been criticized for its narrow focus on Protestant martyrs and its omission of the experiences of Catholics and other religious groups.Martyrs Omitted By Foxe seeks to fill this gap by providing a more inclusive and comprehensive account of religious persecution in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The book includes accounts of the persecution of Catholics, Anabaptists, Quakers, and other religious groups, as well as accounts of individuals who were persecuted for their beliefs but who were not officially recognized as martyrs by Foxe.Overall, Martyrs Omitted By Foxe is an important historical record of religious persecution in England during a tumultuous period in its history. It provides a more complete and nuanced understanding of the experiences of those who suffered for their religious beliefs, and serves as a reminder of the importance of religious tolerance and freedom in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
