Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Unpublished Documents Relating to the English Martyrs, 1584-1603, Vol. 1 The following collection of hitherto inedited documents concerning the English Martyrs has been for many years in preparation. It was begun by the late Father John Morris, S. J., who had been entrusted by the successive Cardinal Archbishops of Westminster with the office of ´postulator´ for the Beatification of the English Martyrs. Having succeeded him in that office, I had many occasions, as time went on, for adding to Father Morris´s portfolios many notes and transcripts, taken from most, or all, libraries and archives in which there seemed a reasonable likelihood of finding pieces that would illustrate the lives of the Martyrs. The collection of papers thus formed, though it contains several pieces of striking dramatic interest, was bound, from the nature of the case, to contain fewer of this sort than were gathered by previous collectors, who had sought for and found almost all of this class that existed. It was also inevitable that our series of papers should appear somewhat disconnected. For the object of these researches being to fill up the gaps between the pieces previously known, the omission of these latter (which can be found elsewhere) necessarily leaves our little groups of documents without any evident connecting link. Still, as we read these pages, we shall, I think, be struck by the unexpected way in which these miscellaneous records illustrate one another. The new fits in with the old, the small pieces with the large. In some cases we have only bare notes of names and dates, but these are aptly and amply supplemented by the rarer narratives in which full details are given (pp. 57-62, 74-88, 345-360). The explanation is that the lives of the Martyrs were to a certain extent one very like another. They passed through the same colleges, were prosecuted under the same laws, and suffered the same penalties. The descriptions of the events, which recurred in almost all lives, when compared one with another, give the whole body of evidence a wonderful unity and vividness.
