Dustwrapper bright. ***483 pages including a detailed Commentary, Appendices, Glossary and Index at the back of the book. 240mm x 160mm. ***Contents - Introduction: The Political Context of the Debellation, Christopher St. German: His Legal and Political Career up to 1534, The Legal Context of the Controversy: The Law of Heresy, The Argument of the Debellation, The Text; Text; Commentary; Appendix A, More's Correction of His Own Error in the Debellation; Appendix B, Christopher St. German's Salem and Bizance; Appendix C, The Later Career of Christopher St. German; Appendix D, Table of Corresponding Pages, Glossary, Index. ***'This volume contains the fourth and last book in an exchange between More and the eminent lawyer Christopher St. German, who in the years 1531 to 1533 wrote as an anticlerical propagandist in Henry VIII's campaign to gain control of the church and its property in England. As he had in his "Apology", More claimed that St. German's propaganda was baseless; by doing so once more, he may well have confirmed the alienation from Henry which led to his own death. Besides an authoritative text, based on the earliest edition, this volume contains a full and detailed introduction, commentary, and glossary. The appendices present More's corretion of a passage in the Debellation; a reprint of the work of St. German he was answering; and the later career and opinions of St. German.'
