Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Knox Perhaps the most singular fact in the life of Knox is the unbroken silence of the first forty years. He, who was the most explicit of men in all that related to himself, never referred to his early life except in some such short, uneasy allusion as "the time spent in the puddle of Papistry." Shame probably kept him silent. What we know from other sources is little enough. He was born probably near Haddington in the year 1505. Unlike most of his countrymen, of whom Erasmus remarks that they all claimed to be of noble birth, Knox was content to describe himself as "a man of base estate and condition." His name occurs in the student lists of Glasgow College for the year 1522, but is absent from the list of those who took their degree.
