Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Writings of Sir Thomas More: Lord Chancellor of England and Martyr Under Henry VIII In More´s dedicatory letter to Thomas Ruthal of his translation into Latin of three of Lucian´s dialogues, he complained that writers of the lives of saints sometimes indulge in falsehoods: "They have scarcely left. a life of martyr or of virgin without foisting into it something untrue - piously, no doubt! for of course there was a danger lest truth, left to itself, should not be able to stand upright; so that it was necessary to prop it up with lies!" I may say that my first anxiety in composing this Life of the illustrious writer, chancellor and martyr, has been not to merit this reproach; to state nothing that I did not believe, and to accept nothing for which I had not historical evidence. My first care was to collate the biographies of More already in existence. In giving some account of the principal of these, I shall be able at the same time to state the sources from which a correct and complete life of More can be drawn.
