Notes
"Fox's Martyrs," often referred to as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs," is a significant historical work by John Foxe, first published in 1563. This comprehensive account documents the persecution and execution of Christians, primarily focusing on the sufferings of Protestant martyrs from the early Church through the Reformation. Foxe's detailed narratives aim to highlight the steadfast faith and courage of these individuals in the face of severe trials, serving both as a record of religious history and a polemical tool against Catholicism during the Protestant Reformation. The book has played a crucial role in shaping Protestant identity and commemorating the sacrifices of those who died for their beliefs.
