The first and only edition of the collected English works of the Protestant martyrs William Tyndale, John Frith, and Robert Barnes. The text was compiled, or at least overseen by the historian John Foxe (d.1587) in John Day's printing house shortly after the second edition of the Actes and Monuments had been brought to the press. This, the 1570 edition, greatly expanded upon the life of this 'blessed martyr', an expansion that was transmitted to the present work, which contains 478 pages of Tyndale's English prose, including his biblical exegesis, treatises on Mammon, The Obedience of a Christen Man, Papisticall Prelate, his Answer to Sir Thomas More and others, with an index containing perhaps 1500 entries (see Patrick Collinson, 'William Tyndale and the Course of the English Reformation', Reformation, Volume 1, 1996). In full, the collection includes all of Tyndale's non-translation prose, including two works of spurious origin: 'A Protestation of the State of Souls Department' and treatise upon 'Signes and Sacramentes'. Frith contributes a further twelve works, and Barnes some fifteen. This was to be the sole edition produced, and Tyndale's works were not reprinted again until the Park Library series in the mid-nineteenth century. An impressive example, substantially complete (with one of the three woodcut illustrations present; lacking six leaves in total) of this important anthology of the 'principall teachers of thys Church of England' (Preface). In the contemporary London binding of blind-tooled calfskin over wooden boards. The central lozenge incorporating the heads-in-medallions roll tool identified by J. Basil Oldham in English Blind-Stamped Bindings as no. 775, and the perimeter border no. 772. With numerous early annotations in pen, including a distinctive monogrammed stylised dragon device incorporating the initials 'CF' to the verso of leaf D4, with a similar manuscript illustration to the verso of 2Y4 and occasional throughout. Further annotations in Latin to 3H3-4, and English to 3H6. The retained front endpaper with extensive ownership inscriptions for the Lawton family, and further inscriptions throughout. First edition; small folio (30 x 21 cm); lacking 6ff. of text comprising: general title, gathering A (including woodcut of Tyndale's martyrdom), 2C3, and 3R4 (final f. of text with the anti-Papal woodcut to verso), otherwise complete including the woodcut depicting the martyrdom of John Frith which was later incorporated into the 1583 edition of John Foxe's 'Actes and Monuments.', woodcut divisional titles to works of Frith and Barnes, historiated initials, text in black letter, headings in Roman type, early marginalia in pen, including ink drawings of dragon heads and MS annotations in a range of hands, extensive ownership inscriptions in pen to front free endpaper, closed tears to gutter margin of D3 and to S1 extending into text, repaired with archival tape, 3R3 frayed with slight loss to text, opening ff a little dampstained and frayed, otherwise a crisp and clean copy; contemporary London blind-tooled calf binding over wooden boards, central roll-tooled lozenge and perimeter borders incorporating heads-in-medallions Oldham 772 & 775, remnants of the original clasps, rebacked, corners repaired, edges sprinkled red, a little rubbed and abraded with slight loss; [6], 452, 455-478, [20], 172, [12], 183-376, [2]pp. Provenance: 'Robertus Lawton', 'Andrew Lawton' (inscriptions to retained front endpaper); Edward Lawton (ownership inscription to 'DD.iiii' verso) ESTC S117761; Luborsky & Ingram 24436; Oldham 772 & 775.…

The first abridged edition of John Foxe's (d.1587) seminal history of the Protestant Reformation in England. This monumental work had run to four editions in Foxe's lifetime, each in turn more lavishly illustrated, and at its maximum spanning more than 2000-pages of text. This did much to catapult Foxe into literary celebrity, but precluded private ownership of the book for all but the very rich. Bright's abridgement was begun shortly after Foxe's death in 1587. Cheaper, at just one quarter of the length and without the costly woodcut illustrations, ensured it a wider circulation than the original texts. The edition was dedicated to Sir Francis Walsingham, with whom Bright had found refuge following the outbreak of the St. Bartholomew's day massacre on 24th August 1572. First abridged edition; 4to (9 x 14.5 cm); woodcut initials and ornaments, lacking the title (supplied in crude facsimile) and final preliminary f., opening 2ff of preliminary torn with major loss to text, and remainder of prelims with old worm damage to lower margin, otherwise complete, ownership inscription in pen to final f. of dedicatory epistle, underlining and manicule in pen to C6 recto, text block a little toned with occasional light staining; seventeenth-century sprinkled calf boards, ruled in blind, rebacked, rubbed with significant loss to corners and edges; [10], 504, 288, [64]pp. ESTC S102503.…
